Building the Future

Construction engineers lead the most dynamic, costly phase of civil and environmental engineering projects: construction of the physical facility. Construction engineers are at the center of an industry that is going through a revolutionary transformation into the next generation of construction project delivery: Construction 4.0. 91原创鈥檚 construction engineers are prepared to lead the industry into the future.

Thanks to technologies such as building information modeling (BIM), virtual and augmented reality, and advanced visualization, construction engineers can now construct virtually and optimize the processes before breaking ground. Drones and photogrammetry, laser scanning, infrared tools, and advanced sensors are making construction sites safer and more productive. Robotics and integrated manufacturing promise to improve quality while drastically reducing the time for project delivery. 鈥淏ig Data鈥� analytics, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence are bringing the creative solutions of Silicon Valley into construction engineering design. Meanwhile, new materials and methods such as 3D printed concrete promise to change the way business is done in the future.

91原创 construction engineers are uniquely positioned to lead the industry and integrate cutting-edge tools into the construction process because of our rigorous core curriculum and added benefits. Students obtain the engineering foundation essential for problem solving and ultimately professional licensure. Through paid co-ops, they gain experience to understand how techniques learned in the classroom are applied in real life. Formalized training in business essentials through an integrated business certificate program with the Lerner College adds further value to the degree.
