Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering
What is civil engineering? Some civil engineering projects seem invisible, such as roads designed for pedestrian, bicyclist and vehicle safety. Others strike us because they loom so impressively large.
Graduates from the University of Central Missouri who work as civil engineer technicians design and administer construction of the commercial and civil projects people admire and use every day, such as bridges, stadiums, skyscrapers, power plants and waterways.
Earn a bachelor’s degree in Engineering Technology, with a focus in Civil Engineering Technology, to develop the technical and design skills you’ll need for a successful career as a civil engineer technician.
Combining civil engineering and technology in one affordable degree
Our diverse, experienced faculty and state-of-the-art equipment empower undergraduate students to design their futures. This along with UCM’s low tuition rates make our ABET-accredited Civil Engineering degree the complete package.
What you will study
At UCM, develop your own answers to the question, “What is civil engineering?” in our state-of-the-art facilities. Civil Engineering degree students get exclusive access to our engineering labs, including:
- Masonry Technology
- Steel Erection
- Inspection & Quality Control
- Electricity & Electronics
- CADD Design
- Geology
- Surveying
We keep class sizes small, so you get the most out of your lab experiences. Expect to roll up your sleeves alongside your peers in small classes. Then, go off campus to nearby Kansas City for internships with leading engineering companies to round out your courses for civil engineering at UCM.
Students tell us one of the most exciting projects they complete in their Civil Engineering degree program at UCM happens senior year. What is civil engineering in the real world? You’ll find out with an opportunity to showcase your skills and knowledge through a capstone class — working with a local company or municipality to solve an actual design or construction challenge. Many companies implement the solutions our students innovate.
