Graduates of this program will attain positions of responsibility within the various aspects of the construction industry. Many graduates eventually create their own construction companies or attain executive positions with construction industry firms.
As a graduate, you also will have the necessary skills to avail yourself of the opportunities for lifelong learning and professional development. You will learn how to:
Utilize techniques that are appropriate to administer and evaluate construction contracts, documents and codes.
Estimate costs, estimate quantities and evaluate materials for construction projects.
Utilize measuring methods, hardware and software that are appropriate for field, laboratory and office processes related to construction.
Apply fundamental computational methods and elementary analytical techniques in sub-disciplines related to construction engineering.
Produce and utilize design, construction and operations documents.
Perform economic analyses and cost estimates related to design, construction and maintenance of systems associated with construction engineering.
Select appropriate construction materials and practices.
Apply appropriate principles of construction management, law and ethics.
Perform standard analysis and design in at least one sub-discipline related to construction engineering.
Learning Outcomes:
An ability to select and apply the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of the discipline to broadly defined engineering technology activities.
An ability to select and apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering and technology to engineering technology problems that require the application of principles and applied procedures or methodologies.
An ability to conduct standard tests and measurements; to conduct, analyze and interpret experiments; and to apply experimental results to improve processes.
An ability to design systems, components or processes for broadly defined engineering technology problems appropriate to program educational objectives.
An ability to function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team.
An ability to identify, analyze and solve broadly defined engineering technology problems.
An ability to apply written, oral and graphical communication in both technical and nontechnical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
