About This Program
The focus of the Resilient Precast Engineering Certificate (RPEC) program is two-pronged. You will attain the skill and understanding required to design precast concrete structures, and in the process, learn how to apply resiliency-based values to their decision-making. Throughout the process, your professional and communication skills will also be honed. Once you’ve completed the five-course curriculum, you will graduate with a deeper knowledge related to the engineering, resiliency, and business aspects of precast concrete.
This multidisciplinary program combines traditional concrete engineering skills with cutting-edge knowledge related to resilience and business management.
Program Highlights
- This is a unique program that gives you the opportunity to collaborate directly with Molin Concrete Products, a national leader in this field. You will be exposed to precast concrete during an introductory reinforced concrete course and refine your knowledge in more advanced courses, through participation in the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) Big Beam competition, and as part of a senior design capstone project
- Molin Concrete provides tours of their production facilities and job sites to connect classroom experiences to reality
- In addition to learning about precast concrete structures, RPEC certification includes a business organizational management class and completing a resiliency-based capstone project that will benefit the community
