Undergraduate Programs

The University of Toledo offers one of the country’s premier engineering programs. Our accredited degree in Construction Engineering Technology (CET) combines:

• Civil engineering (structures, geotechnics, surveying and infrastructure design)
• Construction management (estimating, contracts and project scheduling)
• Graphics, materials and buildings

Courses are grounded in practical applications, rather than theory. Every class has a laboratory component or project that tackles a real-world problem.

UToledo prepares students for a wide range of careers in construction, operation and maintenance of infrastructure.
