PROFESSOR JOSEPH C. CECERE, Program Coordinator

The Structural Design and Construction Engineering Technology (SDCET) program provides the student with a well rounded basic education in structural and construction principles. General engineering concepts, the use of construction methods, techniques in estimating and scheduling, aspects of construction management, design principles in steel, wood, and concrete relating to structural as well as foundation systems, applied computer methods, and awareness of integrated application of the project are included in the curriculum.
