Conception through completion
In any given construction project the disciplines of business, engineering, management and architecture converge. Recognizing this fact is a student’s first step towards becoming a real-world leader in the fields of project and construction engineering management. The second step is taken by enrolling in Norwich University’s Engineering Management degree program, where students learn the foundational skills necessary to take projects from the conceptual stage straight through to the grand opening ceremony.
Multiple disciplines = solid foundation
Construction Engineering Management degree students are taught to assess, strategize and execute projects from an interdisciplinary approach in which facets of architecture, engineering, management and architecture are taken into account. Along with business, engineering and architecture courses, students are required to take Engineering Management courses specifically designed to prepare students for situations they may encounter while on the job site and in the office. Additionally, core studies include courses in the humanities, social sciences, mathematics and sciences. Upon completion of the Construction Engineering Management degree program, students are awarded the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Management, are prepared to sit for the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) and/or the Engineering Management Certification Fundamentals (EMCF) exams, and have a foundational understanding of:
- building materials
- electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems
- economics
- accounting
- law
- information technology
- supply chain integration
- stakeholder management
- emerging structures and issues
- risk management
- time and cost estimation
- materials management
- global sourcing
