Civil Engineering Practitioner Degree
Associate of Applied Science
TMCC’s Civil Engineering Practitioner program is designed to
provide students with the skills necessary to enter theworkforce to
assist engineers in the day to day activities of a Civil Engineering
firm, a construction contractor, or a government agency that
employs civil engineers. Civil Engineering Technicians (or
Practitioners) will be able to collect field and laboratory data,
conduct elementary analysis, provide construction quality
control, cost estimating and computer-aided design drafting
(CADD).
DegreeOutcomes
Students completing the degreewill:
• Apply current knowledge and adapt to emerging applications
of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
• Collaborate with others, communicate effectively, and
function productively on teams.
• Identify, analyze, and develop solutions for engineering
problems.
• Perform, analyze, and interpret standardized field and
laboratory tests on engineering materials, and apply results to
improve processes.
• Understand professional, ethical, and social responsibilities in
engineering.
