Construction & Environmental Technology
This program is designed to give you a specific certification that can be immediately applied to your career.
What You'll Learn
Prepare to meet industry standards through technical training in sustainable construction practices.
Learn the fundamentals of building systems, environmental safety, and project planning while gaining hands-on experience with modern tools and materials. This certificate provides the foundation for employment in construction, facilities management, or environmental technology—and can also serve as a pathway toward more advanced study.
Where You’ll Go
Civil Engineering Technologists and Technicians
- Calculate dimensions, square footage, profile and component specifications, and material quantities, using calculator or computer.
- Read and review project blueprints and structural specifications to determine dimensions of structure or system and material requirements.
- Draft detailed dimensional drawings and design layouts for projects to ensure conformance to specifications.
- Confer with supervisor to determine project details such as plan preparation, acceptance testing, and evaluation of field conditions.
Surveying and Mapping Technicians
- Position and hold the vertical rods, or targets, that theodolite operators use for sighting to measure angles, distances, and elevations.
- Check all layers of maps to ensure accuracy, identifying and marking errors and making corrections.
- Design or develop information databases that include geographic or topographic data.
