The construction engineering technology option is a program specializing in general contracting, heavy/highway and building construction, mechanical and electrical contracting and consulting. It prepares the student for a career in construction as a general contractor, project manager, safety specialist, estimator, scheduler, structural designer, temporary structures and concrete form-work designer, and many other positions whose duties and responsibilities ensure that construction projects are completed on-time, on-budget and of the desired quality. This option is accredited by TAC of ABET.

Typical Civil/Construction Engineering Technology AAS Program students who expect to transfer to the junior year of this B.S.E.T. program should have successfully completed most of the following courses or their equivalent in their first two years of study.

A minimum of 64 semester hour credits is required in:

  • Communications
  • College Algebra and Trigonometry
  • Unified or Applied Calculus
  • Physics I and II
  • Computer Programming Language or Applications
  • Engineering Graphics/CAD
  • Mechanics or Statics
  • Social Science/Humanities
  • Surveying I and II
  • Strength of Materials
  • Fluid Mechanics/Hydraulics
  • Steel/Concrete Design
  • Soil Mechanics
  • Physical Education

Electives

Open Elective in Humanities and Social Science GUR: Students must take one 300-level course from any of the following fields: English (Eng); history (Hist); literature (Lit); philosophy (Phil); science, technology, and society (STS); social science (SS); or theater (Thtr). Students also may satisfy this requirement with a course in Architectural History or by taking an approved 300-level course at Rutgers-Newark. The department recommends engineering technology majors take Eng 352 to fulfill this requirement.

Lit/Hist/Phil/STS GUR: Students must take one 300-level course from any of the following fields: literature; history; philosophy; or science, technology, and society (STS); or an approved 300-level course at Rutgers-Newark.

Capstone Seminar in Humanities and Social Science GUR: All students, except those enrolled in the honors college, take one of the following: HSS 403, HSS 404, HSS 405, HSS 406, HSS 407, HSS 408 , HSS 409. Students enrolled in the honors college take one from HSS 491H-499H .

* Free: Consult the program coordinator. Students entering with fewer than 9 credits in humanities/social science must take an appropriate humanities/social science course to fulfill the NJIT GUR. Consult your program coordinator.
