DID YOU KNOW?

The Civil Engineer School at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) strengthens the Air Force’s mission readiness by offering a suite of Sustainment Management System (SMS) courses—specifically BUILDER and PAVER—to transition our enterprise from reactive repairs to strategic, predictive infrastructure lifecycle management.

The BUILDER and PAVER SMS are web-based software applications created to assist AF civil engineers with deciding the best place to invest limited time and money to strengthen and maintain current AF infrastructure. We must build a data-driven infrastructure and as AF civil engineers, our ability to fight from our bases starts with accurate asset visibility.

These educational opportunities are open to all Air Force miliary, civilian and contract personnel.   

WMGT 131, BUILDER 1 will allow you read-only access to the BUILDER program.

WMGT 231, BUILDER 2 will provide training to do assessments on components within a facilities infrastructure.

WMGT 331, BUILDER 3 prepares you to become a Data Manager at your installation. 

These user-friendly classes are self-paced and web based.  Once registered through CE’s student information system, students will gain access to the course(s). 

In addition to the BUILDER courses, the PAVER courses provide education on the PAVER program and are also self-paced and web based.  All six courses take an estimated 6-10 hours to complete depending on your learning style:  WMGT 141, PAVER 1, WMGT 241 PAVER 2, and WMGT 341 PAVER 3.

The Civil Engineer School develops agile, innovative, and ready Airmen Engineers able to build, maintain, and recover resilient installations ensuring the platforms from which our Air Force delivers airpower anywhere in the world. Faculty deliver education to over 13,000 total force students per year through in-residence instruction, live studio broadcast, on-demand/on-line, and onsite around the globe.
