As an Architecture school within a research university, we are a platform for innovation. Our emphasis on research faculty offers students the opportunity to collaborate in growing areas from nanotechnology to augmented and virtual reality, and to explore the frontiers of robotics and digital fabrication. Our program objectives are grounded in professional accreditation requirements.

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.

The objective of the Construction Engineering Technology program is to prepare graduates to become successful contractors, construction managers, project executives, project managers and construction inspectors. Many graduates eventually create their own construction companies or attain executive positions with construction industry firms.
