Construction Management is an applied construction field that provides knowledge and skills to manage construction of residential and commercial properties.

The field emphasizes construction management principles to prepare students for a career as a leader in the construction industry. The curriculum focuses on hands-on experiences to prepare the graduate for an exciting career in the midst of construction activity.

Construction Management B.S.

The Manufacturing Engineering Technology program is an applied engineering field that looks for better ways to manufacture products. This includes reducing cycle times, maintaining quality, and keeping costs reasonable. 

The field emphasizes engineering problem solving using a hands-on approach rather than the complex analysis that an engineer would typically use. The curriculum focuses on hands-on experiences to prepare the graduate for an exciting career in the midst of production activity.

Manufacturing Engineering Technology B.S.
