Construction Engineering Technology Degree Highlights
You’ll apply advanced science, engineering and mathematics and use known or emerging
technology to develop solutions relevant to industry problems.
You can join other engineering technology students by participating in student chapters
of the Association of Construction Engineering Technology among others.
The College of Engineering also supports a Residents Engaged in Academic Living Community
that brings together engineering majors who live on campus to enhance academic and
social experiences.
Discovery Park is a 300-acre research facility that brings together academic laboratories,
offices and classrooms to maximize the potential for creativity, collaboration and
technological innovation.
In the Construction Engineering Technology program, you’ll begin taking major courses
during the first semester of your freshman year.
We emphasize learning through experience in every course and provide hands-on laboratory
activities.
What Can You Do With A Degree in Construction Engineering Technology?
Engineering technologists work side-by-side with engineering specialists and scientists in design, research and development, quality control, product development and manufacturing.
You will gain the practical skills needed to work in the field with a Construction Engineering Technology degree from UNT. Graduates of our program are highly sought after in nearly every industry sector. Many stay at UNT to pursue master’s and doctoral degrees in technical fields, business and law.
Construction Engineering Technology Degree Courses You Could Take
