Civil Engineering Technology is the profession involved in the design and construction of buildings, highways, utility systems, and land developments (the built environment).

Civil engineering technologists must be schooled in the art and science of surveying, structural analysis, construction management, computer techniques, and construction materials.

Sinclair's program puts strong emphasis on four important aspects of civil engineering technology: surveying, structural analysis, construction management, and construction materials. With this background, graduates can work as part of a team in the construction industry, from preliminary information gathering through design, and into the project construction.

Location is 35 Eaker Street, Dayton, Ohio    map

Students are required to complete a co-op internship. In this way they can gain valuable hands-on experience through the school's co-op program while achieving college credit for practical work experience.

What are the objectives of the Civil Engineering Technology program at Sinclair?

In Civil Engineering Technology students are prepared to work as technicians in the planning, design, construction and operation of the built environment in our civilized world. TAC/ABET* accreditation assures high quality education in modern state-of-the art laboratories with highly qualified faculty.

A strong background in basics of architectural and civil construction and in-depth study of advanced topics such as surveying, construction management and structural analysis prepares students to produce and utilize construction documents and perform basic design and analysis. The curriculum is designed to maximize articulation to four year programs emphasizing Civil Engineering Technology and Construction Engineering Technology.
