Construction Engineering Management
Construction engineers enjoy the building process, the challenge every project brings and the opportunity to lead others while combining engineering and business skills. Construction engineering and management and civil engineering are similar. Civil engineers design the structures, and construction engineers turn these designs into reality. The construction industry is the second-largest contributor to the gross national product, so suffi ce it to say you’ll be in high demand across the country.THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE
CONVERGE. Our program turns students into professional engineers with the necessary skills in business and law to become leaders in the construction engineering and management field - an example of the growing trend to cross traditional disciplinary boundaries and create new areas of specialization.
Where we're from
We're from Paris, Texas, and Paris, France. Oconomowoc and Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. New York and New Mexico. Alaska and Alabama.
And more places!
COURSE OF ACTION. While civil engineers design the structures, it's the job of construction engineers to convert those plans into realities. Students learn to use mathematics, science and engineering to analyze problems and design a construction process.
CO-OP. It's required. Construction engineering and management places emphasis on practical experience and manager-level training. The engineering co-op program gives you an edge over other engineering students, and co-op experiences pay handsomely, too.
COMMUNICATE. You cannot become an effective leader without strong communication skills. Our program stresses leadership and communication skills and the importance of professionalism and ethics, essential elements of welleducated engineers.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IT
The construction industry accounts for more than $1.2 trillion annually - nearly 9 percent - of the nation's gross national product and employs nearly 7.7 million men and women. It is an extremely large industry, and construction engineers are in high demand. Marquette's urban location and proximity to large construction companies give our students a competitive edge. We maintain close relationships with local contractors and utilize local construction professionals as guest speakers, adjunct instructors and co-op mentors.
