Construction management to civil/structural/construction engineering

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>I am currently studying building construction management(BCM) at the University of North Florida and am wondering if there is anyway to streamline getting some sort of engineering degree(civil/structural/construction) on top of it. I like the business coursework and more day to day and practical aspect of BCM, but at the same time I feel like the coursework is simply too easy and I have a great interest in the more technical sides of things. Would I have to go straight for an undergraduate in one of those engineering programs or are there streamlined programs where I could get a graduate degree in a couple years or so in an engineering field, I assume most likely construction engineering.</p>

<p>Are programs like these good for that?
UNF</a> - CCEC - Construction Management - UNF-AUC Partnership
UNF</a> - CCEC - Construction Management - EPF Exchange Program</p>

<p>I really don't know how this all works so any tips or advice would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>The issue with just getting a grad degree in engineering is many of them are not ABET accredited (even if their undergrad program is). If you’re thinking going abroad for the degree, then there would be even more issues. You would need more years of experience to qualify for the PE than if you get an ABET accredited undergrad degree.</p>

<p>What year are you in? Would it make sense just to switch majors instead?</p>

<p>I am currently studying construction engineering at a school and if your still interested in both engineering and management I think you should look for ABET accredited schools that offer it. Ive taken all the courses Mechanical engineers take through our sophomore year but I have also taken estimating, scheduling, plan reading courses, etc. </p>

<p>Its a pretty valuable/ fun major. If you want to know more just ask me and I can answer some questions/ give some good informational websites</p>
