佛罗里达理工学院

The construction management curriculum at Florida Tech combines practical business skills with vital engineering know-how. The program prepares undergraduates to enter the field of construction as competent and confident construction managers, who organize the construction workforce, order the materials, schedule the construction activities, manage the costs and quality, and coordinate the project through completion.

A construction management degree is different than civil engineering or architecture, which focus on design and planning. Construction management is a business-oriented major for students interested in project management, construction, and land development.

Whether you want to be a construction manager or an entrepreneurial contractor, a construction management degree from Florida Tech develops a strong background in engineering and experience in business and project planning. Students majoring in construction management are also eligible for entrance into Florida Tech's FastTrack MBA program.

Gain Practical Experience

The construction management degree curriculum was developed in response to direct input from construction industry experts to prepare students to enter the workplace for both vertical (building) and horizontal (highway and civil) construction technical, managerial, and communication skills. The College of Engineering works closely and maintains relationships with many local engineering and construction companies, and as a result, students have access to a large network that provides a wealth of resources and internship opportunities.

For example, you’ll complete a senior design project towards your construction management degree in collaboration with a team of your peers. Together, you’ll conceptualize, design, and present a construction project that fulfills a real-world need. You’ll present your project to industry leaders and employers, and may compete in international competitions. This gives you practical experience, an expanded professional network, and perhaps even a pre-graduation job offer.
