Prospective Students

Do you wonder how a map is made or how a house or road is constructed? Are you someone who enjoys building things and realizes that education and training beyond high school is becoming a necessity? If so, you may be an excellent candidate for the two-year Civil Technology program. Students with these interests excel in this program, and well-paying job opportunities abound for graduates in the three “specializations” offered:

Civil Technology is a dynamic educational opportunity offering skill-based learning through class instruction, extensive laboratory experience, fieldwork, as well as portfolio opportunities. Students choose from one of the following specializations: Architectural Technology, Construction Management, or Surveying and Mapping.

The cornerstone of the educational experience is instruction in computer- aided design (CAD) and parametric modeling using the Thompson School's state-of-the-art CAD labs. Students in surveying use the latest GPS & surveying equipment and students studying geographical information systems (GIS) use the new GIS Instructional Lab. Additional coursework covers building science, construction contracting, materials, soils, and methodologies of professional practice in the concentration specialties.

Admissions Requirements for Civil Technology Students: Applicants to the CT program must present at least two years of satisfactory work in college preparatory mathematics.
