(Jefferson Davis Campus)

The Construction Engineering Technology program is an instructional program designed to prepare technicians for employment within the construction industries and firms in mid-level management operations as estimators, material specialists, planners, project managers, layout specialists, or other construction operations. Individuals currently employed as professionals in the construction business will enhance their ability to perform their duties.

Students completing the program will be prepared for jobs in supervision, estimating, layout, handling, storing, monitoring, materials, safety, leadership, and organization of construction projects. In the program, students learn about environment and workplace safety issues. Students also learn how to identify safety hazards and notify the proper authorities.Through an internship program, students have the opportunity to work in a position related to Construction Engineering Technology.

This program leads to an Associate of Applied Science Degree and is preparatory for employment upon graduation from MGCCC. Where a transfer to 4-year college or university is desired, a conference should be scheduled with a MGCCC advisor.

All students completing a career or technical program must complete either the MS-CPAS (Mississippi Career Planning and Assessment System) or an MGCCC Board- approved Technical Skills Attainment assessment where applicable. Students should see an advisor for further details.
