Construction Engineering Technology is an instructional program designed to prepare technicians for employment within the construction industry. In the program, students learn about construction materials and their use, blueprint reading, CAD software, surveying and construction layout, cost estimation, leadership and management skills, safety standards, and basic architectural design.

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

All students completing a career or technical program must complete an MGCCC Board-approved Technical Skills Attainment where applicable. Students should see an advisor for further details.
