The process of construction involves the organization, administration, and coordination of labor resource requirements, temporary and permanent materials, equipment, supplies and utilities, money, technology and methods. These must be integrated in the most efficient manner possible to complete construction projects on schedule, within the budget, and according to the standards of quality and performance specified by the project owner or designer. The Construction Engineering curriculum blends engineering, management, and construction sciences into a study of the processes of construction whereby designer’s plans and specifications are converted into physical structures and facilities. The curriculum develops the ability of students to be team workers, creative thinkers, and effective communicators. This is achieved by encouraging students to: Interact with practicing professionals, Gain work experience during summer jobs, internship, and cooperative education assignments that emphasize the knowledge required of construction engineers. Develop leadership skills by participating in student organizations. Develop, analyze, and interpret alternative solutions to open-ended problems. Construction engineers need to possess teamwork skills and strong fundamental knowledge of engineering design and management principles, including knowledge of business procedures, economics, and human behavior. Graduates of this curriculum may expect to engage in design of temporary structures, coordination of project design, systems design, cost estimating, planning and scheduling, company and project management, materials procurement, equipment selection, and cost control. With the emergence of integrated project delivery methods such as design-build construction, the role of the construction engineer is expanding the need for trained professionals that understand both aspects of the project delivery environment. The curriculum offers opportunities to study options concerned with building, electrical, infrastructure, or mechanical construction.
