Engineer registration possess both a BSCEdegree and 30 credits of post-graduate study, effective 2015. The demise of C.E. Technologywas feared to be just around the corner because graduates from such programs would no longerhave the opportunity to seek registration as Professional Engineers. Currently, graduates withcivil engineering technology degrees from 4-year institutions can eventually become registeredprofessional civil engineers in about 40 states. Many students in our local area choose thetechnology path in higher education because the instruction they receive is viewed as morepractical and ‘hands-on’. However, because there is only one professional level recognized forcivil engineers, that of a registered Professional Engineer, CET
