Construction in the modern world has become more complex. Our innovative curriculum is designed to meet those challenges and complexities with insights from construction industry pioneers.
The undergraduate Construction Engineering program provides a foundation for design, construction, and safety grounded in the business of construction while preparing you to become a licensed professional engineer.
Construction engineers are holistic leaders across the spectrum of project delivery, managing projects from the initial concept, to the design, to the built environment. Unearth your passion within the world of Construction Engineering and choose one of our three focus areas.
Civil engineering focuses on the safe and sustainable design of infrastructure. Available focus areas include geotechnical, structural, transportation, and water.
Construction management focuses on the leadership and management skills necessary to facilitate major construction projects. Specializations include sustainability, virtual design, and more.
Construction engineering is where design and construction meet. Communication is key for successful construction engineers, who coordinate with all stakeholders, from the construction crews and contractors to site owners and CEOs. You’ll learn to plan, design, and build complex infrastructure projects, like bridges, dams, roads, tunnels, and airports.
