This program is designed for persons fulfilling the construction industry's need for licensed professional engineers. It resembles the construction management program but provides a greater emphasis on engineering, scientific, and technical courses so that requirements for licensure are met. The courses in construction engineering focus on the application of engineering principles to solve real world construction problems. They include instruction in civil engineering, structural principles, material testing and evaluation, project management, computer-assisted design, 3D animation, sustainability and graphic communication.The educational objective of the construction engineering program is to produce graduates who:Possess lifelong knowledge acquisition skills enabling them to add value to society throughout their construction careers by

  • applying engineering principles of analysis and design to the constructed environment
  • learning technical skills, innovative thought and dedication to search for ways to improve society through enhanced functionality, efficiency and decreased cost
  • developing communication skills to effectively share their ideas with others
  • adapting to the constantly changing, interdisciplinary world of design and construction by learning good team work and team building skills
  • using appropriate construction practices including:
    • business organization
    • estimating
    • scheduling
    • project delivery
    • ethics
