Construction Management Technology


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Colleges and Programs

The Construction Management Technology program is a blend of civil engineering technology and construction business management. This is achieved by applying principles in civil engineering technology and management to the construction process. The Construction Management Technology program provides quality instruction in construction engineering technology and management to enable graduates to be professional constructors. This mission is fulfilled by providing students with a foundation in mathematics, science, communications, social science and humanities; which are coupled with civil engineering technology and management principles leading to a rewarding career in the construction industry. Upon graduation students can expect to be able to:

  • Demonstrate and apply acquired knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of construction practice to emerging applications of construction practice using mathematics, science, engineering, and technology in order to improve construction processes.
  • Apply creativity appropriate to construction processes by functioning effectively on teams that solve technical problems, through effective communications.
  • Have the ability to pursue lifelong learning and have a commitment to quality, timely, and continuous improvement.
  • Respect diversity and recognize professional, societal, ethical, and global responsibilities.

The student is taught a variety of civil engineering and management topics in a technical and rigorous curriculum. The primary focus is surveying, materials testing, structural analysis and design, highways, estimating, and heavy-highway/building methods and equipment. The curriculum features management courses that may lead to a minor in business. There is extensive use of computer applications throughout the program.

Employment Opportunities
With a Bachelor of Science degree, graduates are prepared to initially perform technical/supervisory tasks in the field and office, and to then advance to management positions. Prospective employers include construction contractors and subcontractors, private and public construction inspection agencies, contract administrators, and major facility owners. There may also be similar employment opportunities in other project-oriented industries, such as aircraft, aerospace, and shipbuilding. On the purely technical side, there are employment opportunities in soils, foundations, and building materials testing firms.
