Prepared by the Civil Engineering Technologist Body of Knowledge Task Committee of the Committee on the Civil Engineering Technologist of the Committee on Advancing the Profession of ASCECivil Engineering Technologist Body of Knowledge provides a consensus on areas in which a civil engineering technologist (CET) might work, as well as the overall approach of combined foundational and specialty outcomes to provide a workable body of knowledge for CETs.The foundational learning outcomes apply to all CETs regardless of specialty area, whereas the specialty learning outcomes are expected to be applied at a level of mastery in a chosen area.The body of knowledge is based on the review of practices both in the United States and internationally involving civil engineering technologists.These practices involveeducational requirements, outcomes, and work areas. The result provides guidance for CETs and employers.This report will be of interest to both academics and practitioners in all areas of civil engineering practice.
