Program Overview

Engineering & Construction Management Program

Overview

The Engineering & Construction Management Program is designed to address the challenges of the increasingly changing and growing construction industry, with an emphasis on the financial, planning, and management aspects of the project life cycle. The program explores construction processes from the outset, feasibility, design, communication, and construction through commissioning, maintenance, refurbishment, and shutdown.
