-: The program would be as a civil engineer
you'd be going through and be doing a lot of math,
science, and drafting type course work.
So you'll be doing physics, you'll be doing math,
you'll be doing basic chemistry,
and then you'll be working on into computer science,
several computer science classes, communication classes,
and then finally you'll be getting
into more specific design classes
as your course work progresses.
Experience, it looks fantastic on a resume,
and so that can be a variety of public service
or internships through either state or private industries,
and then being involved in your community.
Knowing what's going on,
what the political atmosphere is like,
and what types of problems are facing
your individual community.
Almost on a daily basis I'm using Autodesk software.
So that would be Civil 3D, AutoCAD,
and then using some of the modeling softwares,
such as WinSLAMM.
As a student you can take the FE Exam,
which is the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam,
and that covers a lot of your base coursework.
After you've been in the industry for three or four years
you have the option to take the Professional Engineers Exam,
which will license you in a specific state.
And that test is more focused on the type
of work that you'll be doing day to day.
