About the Department of Building Construction

The Building Construction curriculum prepares students with the professional capabilities to critically address the present and evolving needs of the construction industry. To perform successfully in the construction industry, students must develop an understanding of the technical aspects of construction while applying useful construction management practices and tools to maintain control and provide informed, optimal decisions.

Professional information, exchange seminars, field visits, and collaboration with firms in the construction and construction management fields complement and reinforce the core program.
