2007-2008 Catalog (PDF) - Colorado State University-Pueblo

College of Education, Engineering, and Professional Studies
Program Focus
The major is designed to produce civil engineering
technologists who (a) are capable of performing
engineering surveys, (b) can perform standard
analysis and design of elements of structures, water
supply and disposal systems, and transportation
systems, (c) are capable of conducting standard
laboratory and field tests for construction materials and
soils, and (d) are competent to function as construction
project managers.
The civil engineering technology curriculum places
emphasis on hands-on experience obtained through
laboratory activities that include: (a) testing of construction
materials, (b) developing of technical
solutions to problems using established engineering
analysis and design principles, (c) performing cost and
economic analyses of technical solutions, and (d)
developing plans and schedules for construction
projects.
Expected Student Outcomes
General Requirements
• Graduates are required to complete an approved
program of study with a cumulative GPA of 2.000
or better in their major courses.
• Graduates are required to demonstrate skill and
knowledge in the areas of quantitative analysis
and science by having a cumulative GPA of 2.000
or better in the mathematics and physics courses.
• Civil engineering technology majors are required
to demonstrate the ability to solve problems
appropriate to their discipline, acquire computer
skills, and to complete a final senior-year technical
project requiring an oral and written presentation.
Specific Requirements for the CET Major
It is expected that CET graduates should have the
appropriate skills and knowledge regarding surveying
and drafting. In addition, they should have a
knowledge of basic construction materials along with
the fundamentals of statics, strength of materials,
hydraulics, water resources, transportation systems,
structural analysis and design.
