Civil Engineer
Program Description:
Civil Engineering / Surveying Technology graduates work for a variety of employers, including consulting firms, government agencies, construction, and utility companies. The program provides a broad based knowledge of construction, civil engineering technology and surveying fundamentals. The major study areas include computer aided drafting and design, construction materials, physics, mathematics, ethics, land law, equipment and calculations used in surveying, hydrology and hydraulics. Graduates of the program may become licensed as a Land Surveying Intern after passing the Fundamentals of Land Surveying examination administered by the Oklahoma State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. After gaining qualified experience a Land Surveying Intern may apply to take the Principals of and Practices of Land Surveying exam. After successfully completing this second exam, a Land Surveying Intern will become registered as a Professional Licensed Surveyor. Additionally, graduates may apply for the examination to become a Certified Engineering Technician given by the National Institute for the Certification of Engineering Technicians.

Local Employment Outlook:
Overall engineering employment is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations over the 2004-14 period. Engineers have traditionally been concentrated in slow-growing manufacturing industries, in which they will continue to be needed to design, build, test, and improve manufactured products. However, increasing employment of engineers in faster growing service industries should generate most of the employment growth. Overall job opportunities in engineering are expected to be favorable because the number of engineering graduates should be in rough balance with the number of job openings over this period. However, job outlook varies by specialty, as discussed later in this section.
