Engineering Technology - CAD-Architectural/Civil Design Emphasis (B.S.)

Location(s): Main Campus


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Department of Engineering and Technology


Program Information

  • All courses must be passed with a “C-” (1.7) or better to be counted in the major.
  • Students must earn a minimum overall GPA of 2.0 in the major requirements.

General Education Requirement (30-35 Credits)


See General Education  for course options.

  • Core Course Requirements (12-15 Credits)
  • Breadth Area Requirements (16-20 Credits)

Please note: All students must complete a minimum of 30 credits between the Core and Breadth Area requirements.

Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Degree Requirement (12 Credits*)


  • Bachelor of Science Degree - Math or Science minimum requirement 12 Credits

* Note: A portion of the B.S. requirements may be met by fulfilling the General Education  Core and Breadth Areas. Because of this, these credits are typically not counted in the degree total at the bottom of page. Some students majoring in non-science fields may need additional math/science courses to reach the minimum 12 credits. Consult your Student Success Advisor for details. 

Engineering Technology - CAD-Architectural/Civil Design Curriculum (91-92 Credits)


Complete One of the Following (3-4 Credits)


Note

* Students who are not prepared for this math course may need additional math credits/preparation. Please consult your Student Success Advisor for more information.

Complete One of the Following (3 Credits)


Free Electives (0-5 Credits)


Total elective credit is determined by General Education courses taken, degree type selected, additional credits earned, and any additional math or other prerequisite courses needed. For a bachelor’s degree, students must earn a minimum of 40 upper-division credits (courses numbered 3000-4999). Students may need to select additional upper-division courses not included in their major requirements in order to reach this minimum. Please consult your Student Success Advisor for details.

Recommended Electives


The Department of Engineering and Technology recommends that students complete any of the following courses (dependent on career goals) if they have free elective credits:

Total Credits, B.S. Degree: 120-127


Licensure Notification


This program typically leads to licensure/certification and was designed to meet such qualifications for the state of Utah. Students who are or may be planning to pursue licensure/certification in any other U.S. state or territory may need to meet additional education requirements. This is not a reflection of SUU’s accreditation or quality, as each state and territory regulates their own education requirements for occupational licensure.

Students enrolled in a teacher preparation program may potentially be able to use a Utah educator license to obtain licensure through reciprocity. Additional information may be found through the Department of Teacher Education’s reciprocity table.

An overview of all of SUU’s programs that lead to licensure/certification and the programs’ current determination statuses may be found at www.suu.edu/provost/licensure.html.

Program Learning Outcomes


Program Educational Objectives

Graduates of the Engineering Technology program will be considered successful if after a few years from their graduation they can:

  1. Apply knowledge, techniques, skill, and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly defined engineering problems.
  2. Design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly defined engineering problems.
  3. Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in technical and non-technical environments, including identification and use of appropriate technical literature.
  4. Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments to analyze and interpret results.
  5. Function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical and/or interdisciplinary teams.
  6. Engage in their communities in engineering and technology education opportunities.
  7. Exhibit ethical workplace behavior.

Student Learning Outcomes

The outcomes of the Engineering Technology program are those proposed by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Each graduate will take from the Engineering Technology program:

  1. An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
  2. An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
  3. An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments
  4. An ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
  5. An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.
  6. An ability to function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team.
