Construction Engineering...

<p>Is there such a program? If so, which colleges offer it?</p>

<p>yes there is, and iowa state offers it. a lot of colleges may not offer it as a major, but may offer it as a concentration which will include the same classes.</p>

<p>I believe Georgia Tech has a Building construction program....</p>

<p>You can also major in civil engineering and then later specialize in construction engineering, in a lot of cases. Track down or PM ken285 in the engineering forums... he's a construction engineer.</p>

<p>Look at ASU's Del Webb School.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if it's exactly the same as what you're looking for, but it's a really neat program. And Del Webb is a big name in the construction world</p>

<p>ASU:</a> Del E. Webb School of Construction</p>

<p>Texas A&M and Purdue both have it.</p>

<p>NC State University has it.</p>

<p>There are construction management programs and there are construction engineering programs. The difference is subtle, but it can make a difference. If you're looking at either, there are PLENTY of schools out there (way too many to list). </p>

<p>Construction management programs tend to focus more on the business side of construction, while construction engineering programs are more balanced between technical and business/organizational elements. Construction management programs tend to be standalone majors, while construction engineering is almost always a concentration within civil engineering. </p>

<p>If you want my advice, I'd strongly suggest taking the civil engineering route. Construction engineering/management is so specific that it might limit your professional opportunities, especially if you decide this isn't for you. All construction managers/contractors will hire civil engineering graduates. However, many civil engineering firms will not hire construction management graduates. The two are so interrelated that I don't think it makes sense, especially if you're still in high school right now, to put yourself into such a niche major. It's like somebody interested in the humanities majoring in 18th century literature, instead of just English. And personally, I think it's great to be able to fully understand the engineering behind what you're building. Depending on the construction program which you decide to enroll in, you might not get this knowledge.</p>

<p>Whichever route you decide to take, I strongly urge you to research the programs you are considering. If it's civil engineering, make sure they offer courses in construction because not every program does. If it's construction, look specifically at the courses in the major and make sure it has what you are interested in. </p>

<p>If I am totally off base by assuming you are a high school student, and you are in fact a working professional, there are probably quite a few master's degree programs which aren't too strict about your educational program. These programs are typically located within their Continuing Studies school, so you really have to dig these out from deep within their websites. These are more construction management programs than construction engineering programs though.</p>

<p>Good luck with everything!</p>

<p>Virginia Tech offers a Bachelor of Science in Building Construction. Their website link is Building</a> Construction Department - Virginia Tech Hope this helps!</p>

<p>I go to Iowa State and I am a ConE if you have questions free feel to message!</p>

<p>Norhern Mich has COnst Engineering. The students come around on move in date and help construct the bunks.</p>

<p>U Michigan has a concentration in it <a href=“http://www.cem.umich.edu/home/brochure/ProgDescrip.pdf[/url]”>http://www.cem.umich.edu/home/brochure/ProgDescrip.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I only know Texas A&M has it because American Idol 4th runner up a couple seasons ago, the dreadlocked Jason Castro, was a major in it. lol. But he dropped out after the show and is writing music and touring.</p>
