Program Description
The Bachelor of Science in Construction Engineering (B.Sc. ConE) degree program provides students with the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed for a career in the construction industry. After completing the B.Sc. ConE degree program, students will be able to plan, design, implement, and manage the construction process including the maintenance and rebuild of infrastructure facilities. Students gain a strong foundation in engineering design and management combined with construction engineering mechanics.
In the third year of studies students engage in a semester long in-field training experience. In their final year, students conduct an in-depth study of a complex construction engineering technology-based problem, design, or technological application. The consolidation of the skill set developed in the B.Sc. ConE program through the completion of a capstone project and an in-field work placement prepares graduates for exciting careers in the construction engineering industry.
