Civil Engineering Technology
The Civil Engineering Technology program (CIV), following the missions of both Farmingdale State College and the State University of New York, offers a comprehensive and stimulating program that fulfills the needs of students and regional employers. This program promotes student learning as well as the advancement of technology while contributing to the local economy. Fulfilling Farmingdale State College’s mission, the program produces graduates with high technical skills and knowledge are ready to enter the workforce in New York State.
ABET program accreditation can be sought after the first graduate is produced. This curriculum is housed in a school that currently offers six ABET accredited programs, demonstrating a commitment to the quality inherent within ABET standards. Once a civil ET graduate is produced, ABET review will be requested. A subsequent positive accreditation decision would be retroactive.
In New York State, graduates may sit for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam upon graduation and the Professional Engineering (PE) exam after working six years under a professional engineer.
Student Learning Outcomes (based on ABET requirements):
Upon completion of the program students will demonstrate:
- 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;
- an ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline;
- an ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature;
- an ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes; and
- an ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.
Typical Employment Opportunities:
Civil Engineers
Design Engineers
Project Managers
Consultants
Project Planners
Town Engineers
Civil Engineering Technology (BS) Program Objectives:
- Graduates will have the technical and managerial skills necessary to enter careers in the planning, design, construction, operation or maintenance of the built environment and global infrastructure.
- Graduates will be prepared to analyze and design systems.
- Graduates will be prepared to specify project methods and materials prepared to perform cost estimates and analyses.
- Graduates will be prepared to manage technical activities in support of civil engineering projects.
Admission to Farmingdale State College - State University of New York is based on the qualifications of the applicant without regard to age, sex, marital or military status, race, color, creed, religion, national origin, disability or sexual orientation.

Curriculum Summary
*FYE 101 First Year Experience is required for all first time full time students
**CIV 496 Capstone Project must be completed in residence at Farmingdale State College
Degree Type: BS
Total Required Credits: 123-124
Please refer to the General Education, Applied Learning, and Writing Intensive requirement
sections of the College Catalog and consult with your advisor to ensure that graduation
requirements are satisfied.
As a part of the SUNY General Education Framework, all first-time full time Freshman
at Farmingdale State College (FSC) beginning Fall 2023, are required to develop knowledge
and skills in Diversity: Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice (DEISJ). Students will
be able to fulfill this requirement at FSC by taking a specially designated DEISJ
course that has been developed by faculty and approved by the DEISJ Review Board.
DEISJ-approved courses may meet other General Education Knowledge and Skills areas
and/or core competencies and thus be dually designated. DEISJ-approved courses may
also earn other special designations such as those for Applied Learning or Writing
Intensive.
