The industry needs men and women who have good communication skills, professional attitudes, and broad educational bases upon which they can build specific job skills. New technologies are being applied to construction, robotics, computer simulation, and computer-aided monitoring. Consequently, the number of middle management positions, particularly those with technical background, will grow as we approach the year 2000. Some have started their own business. When you graduate from the Construction Engineering Program with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree, you will be eligible to take the Professional Engineer examination .
Professional registration is required for many responsible positions within the industry.
Additionally, registration as a Professional Engineer will open new career avenues for you and expand your career advancement possibilities. A construction internship is encouraged. The type of internship is based on your experiences and career goals. Students have interned with contractors, subcontractors, city building departments, housing rehabilitation programs, architects, university building maintenance departments, residential builders, and other professional organizations. Many employers offer summer employment opportunities to our students.
