Bachelor of Science in Construction Engineering Management Technology
Accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC), of ABET http://www.abet.org.
The Construction Engineering Management Technology curriculum is intended to further students' knowledge in areas of construction contract administration, specification writing, construction field operations, construction scheduling/project control, construction costs and bidding, construction law and ethics, construction safety and inspection, construction project cost and project control, soils and foundations, construction economics, and construction management through further course work. Additional course work in microeconomics, mathematics, lab sciences, and training in written and oral communications is also included. Many students complete all or part of their course work on a part-time basis by taking a reduced course load during the semesters they are engaged in construction-related employment.
Graduates of the program are prepared for employment with contractors, building product companies, consulting engineering firms, construction material and equipment vendors, testing labs, utilities, and state and other government organizations. Occupations such as inspecting, estimating, project management, merchandising, supervising, and testing may also be filled by graduates of this program.
Program Educational Objectives in Construction Engineering Management Technology
The Program Educational Objectives reflect career and professional accomplishments of the program's graduates a few years after graduation. They are as follows:
- Successfully support, manage or administer construction related operations.
- Receive professional recognition / advancement consistent with the awarded degree.
- Demonstrate continued interest in professional growth.
Graduates typically find employment with engineering firms, construction firms, consulting companies, surveying companies, contractors and subcontractors, builders, construction materials testing companies, building products, materials and equipment suppliers, land developers, highway departments, utilities, and various state, city, and governmental agencies and work with titles such as project manager or project supervisor, contract administrator, specifications writer, safety supervisor, project estimator, project scheduler, contractor, sub-contractor, builder, surveyor, designer, remodeller, testing supervisor, merchandiser of construction materials and equipment.
The curriculum is not intended to prepare students for registration as professional engineers.
