The world is demanding innovative engineers who have the skills to manage people as well as the ability to design, build, and manage projects.
Our construction engineering degree program balances theory and practice with a strong industry-driven curriculum that is grounded in traditional and emerging areas in engineering as well as management principles and applications.
Like all engineering programs, you’ll experience a healthy amount of math and mechanical principles—plus, you can gain experience in specialties like environmental engineering, electrical engineering, and building information modeling.
You'll also be utilizing the latest cutting-edge tools in engineering like 3D printing and augmented reality. In the very near future, you could be using these tools to design a:
• Skyscraper
• Football stadium
• Mixed-use economic development project
• Massive suspension bridge
You could even be supervising a crew renovating a hospital or an office complex or generating the plans for a construction project and overseeing the teams who build it.
