Nationally certified by ETAC/ABET.

No other country matches the United States in newconstruction projects. American companies arealso involved in projects worldwide. With these ex-penditures has come the growing demand for con-struction workers and technicians prepared tospearhead this monumental rebuilding effort.Homes, highways, buildings, plants, airports andbridges will require the handiwork of masterbuilders and the Construction Management Engi-neering Technology curriculum will provide someof these technicians.

The educational objectives of the ConstructionManagement Engineering Technology Programare to:

• secure employment in a technical career relatedto construction management; and

• continue education to a four-year constructionmanagement-related program

Students are provided a sound education in boththe theory and the application of quality construc-tion principles for a variety of construction proj-ects. Students learn the basic methods, materials,techniques, and developments involved in the con-struction industry.

This program offers the students a unique combi-nation of management, design and hands-on ex-perience. Through a series of construction

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

Program Description

management courses, students learn about the construction in-dustry as a whole and analyze the interrelationships of the variousorganizations within the industry. In the laboratory, students mas-ter blueprint reading, quantity take-offs and the estimating of res-idential and commercial projects. A minimum grade point averageof 2.0 is required for graduation with an A.A.S. degree in Con-struction Management Engineering Technology.

Graduates qualify for positions such as construction managers,supervisors, building inspectors, contractors, field clerks, pur-chasing agents, surveyors, expediters, estimators, and construc-tion materials salesmen. Other graduates often transfer creditstoward a bachelor's degree.

AccreditationAccredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET (ETAC/ABET),http://www.abet.org

Special Admission Requirements/PrerequisitesIt is recommended that applicants have completed two years eachof high school mathematics and science. Those students deficientin these or other areas may have to take an additional term ofcourse work.

ScholarshipsScholarships are available specific to this program.

Program CompetenciesUpon graduation with an Associate in Applied Science degree in Con-struction Management Engineering Technology, the graduate will beable to:

• communicate through graphic, written and oral expression theelements of construction;• apply appropriate techniques to administer and evaluate con-struction contracts, documents and codes;• estimate material, labor and costs of construction projects;• perform and apply fundamental measurements using construc-tion methods, survey equipment and laboratory equipment;• apply fundamental computer methods and analytical techniquesin sub disciplines related to construction technology;• recognize the need for ethics and engage in lifelong learning; in-cluding a respect for diversity;• function effectively as a team member in technical projects andactivities;• use mathematics, science, engineering and technology to solveengineering and technical problems.
