Starting Fall 2018, the name of the Construction Engineering Technology Program changed to Construction Engineering and Management. The Construction Engineering and Management Program offers comprehensive construction education for cultivating construction engineers, as well as industry leaders. The Construction Engineering and Management Program provides the student with a firm background in construction practices. Graduates may eventually work in any area of construction including commercial, heavy-civil, and residential. Construction Engineering and Management graduates work with owners, developers, architects, engineers (civil, mechanical, and electrical), building departments, governmental agencies, contractors, and subcontractors to implement a variety of construction projects. Job titles include field engineer, project engineer, superintendent, as well as estimator, scheduler, and project manager.
Students in the Construction Engineering and Management Program receive training in construction materials, drafting, computer applications, construction surveying, structural design, soil mechanics, construction equipment, estimating, scheduling, accounting, project management, safety and law.
The Construction Engineering and Management Program has close ties with the construction industry. The student organization in the Construction Engineering and Management Program includes Associated General Contractors (AGC), Construction Management Association of America (CMAA), the Construction Engineering and Management Association (CEMA), Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA), National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), and North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT). This program offers a number of construction scholarships, and students may apply for grants based on financial need and/or academic achievement.
