The Civil and Construction Engineering Technology program prepares students for entry-level work with civil engineers, contractors, government agencies, and the public. Civil Engineering Technicians apply the theories and principles of civil engineering in planning, designing, and overseeing construction and maintenance of structures and facilities under the direction of engineering staff or physical scientists.
The Civil and Construction Engineering Technology program is four semesters in length. The program starts in the Fall semester. For other possible start dates, contact the Industrial, Engineering, and Information Technology Department at 319-296-4009.
Hawkeye's Industrial and Engineering Technology Department has a block articulation agreement with the University of Northern Iowa as well as Mt. Mercy College in Cedar Rapids to transfer both general education and technical credits. Many graduates of this program have transferred substantial credits into the Construction Management program at UNI.
