Program Description

The identified curriculum will prepare students for employment as Civil Engineering technicians – specifically with respect to construction support positions. The coursework incorporates concepts and theory of construction as well as practical application of construction management tasks. The degree additionally provides a framework of study that is common in Bachelor’s-level programs for explicitly this field of study.

Enrollment Completer Projections

The expectations for degree completion is 25 plus graduates per year once the program is in place and fully operational.

Program Goals

The purpose of this Construction Engineering Management degree is to provide students with the necessary academic preparation needed for entry-level work within the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry. The targeted employment positions will be in direct support of construction projects. (As such, the supporting LMI data is aggregated for multiple potential career goals available to those individuals who complete this degree.) A secondary purpose exists for those students who decide to pursue more advanced degrees in this field as the curriculum provides a the lower-division education that will support and advance the progress of students with their transfer efforts into Bachelor’s-level programs for Construction Engineering Management and similar Civil Engineering programs. The overall goal of the program is to fill an identified need in the AEC industry for individuals with broad knowledge and skills to oversee construction projects with consideration of both the business and technical aspects. Coursework and projects are accomplished which simulate those commonly performed in a typical workplace. With consideration of the dual purpose as indicated above, an additional goal is to support and guide students into higher degrees that may lead to professional licensure in this field as Civil Engineers.

It’s Citrus’s understanding that the Construction Engineering Management application has been pulled from the March 15th agenda. Discussions between RHC and Citrus College are being scheduled.
