Civil Construction Management - CNST.AS

The Civil Engineering Technology degree option in Civil Construction Management combines construction related engineering education with business, marketing, and management to allow students to develop the knowledge and skills necessary for a successful career in construction. The construction field encompasses a wide range of technical areas and employment opportunities ranging from field personnel responsible for earthmoving and building projects to support personnel in supply industries, as well as management staff The field of construction accounts for a large portion of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product meaning that construction is one of the single largest business activities in the country, which can provide a wide variety of exciting and challenging opportunities for employment. Beyond the opportunities for employment, the construction management degree option provides a strong background for pursuit of a bachelors degree in construction management.

 

Upon successful completion of the requirements of the program, an Associate in Science in Civil Engineering Technology from STCC will be awarded.

Educational Program Objectives

The career and professional accomplishments that the program is preparing graduates to achieve are as follows:

  1. A sound understanding of engineering principles to support both successful careers and further education.
  2. Applied critical thinking and problem solving skills to technical and non-technical problems.
  3. Ability to communicate through verbal, written, and graphic means.
  4. Effective team membership skills.
