Construction engineers combine engineering disciplines to plan and execute projects.
They apply their knowledge of construction methods and equipment to ensure that work is completed on time, within budget, and in accordance with design specifications. Construction engineers lead a team of financial planners, technicians, tradespeople, and professional engineers from other disciplines. The University of Alberta has been offering undergraduate courses in Construction Engineering and Management since 1986 and graduate degrees since 1991. The Chair has created a unique opportunity for students to be actively involved in industry research. The Chair also provides students with valuable contacts, which will aid them long after graduation.
