Construction engineering is one of the newest specialty engineering disciplines, largely due to the increasing complexities associated with the planning, construction, and maintenance of modern infrastructure, including highways, buildings, bridges, railroads, airports, dams, and industrial plants. Construction engineers play a vital and dynamic role in realizing the vision of the design of buildings, bridges, dams, highways, airports, sports stadiums and more. In effect, construction engineering melds civil engineering design with construction management and business to provide more effective, efficient, safe, and sustainable solutions to each and every unique project.
