THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

CONVERGE. Our program turns students into professional engineers with the necessary skills in business and law to become leaders in the construction engineering management field — an example of the growing trend to cross traditional disciplinary boundaries and create new areas of specialization. 

COURSE OF ACTION. While civil engineers design the structures, it’s the job of construction engineers to convert those plans into realities. Students learn to use mathematics, science and engineering to analyze problems and design a construction process. Marquette’s well-established master’s and doctoral degrees in construction management provide additional depth and resources.

CO-OP. It’s required. Construction engineering and management places emphasis on practical experience and manager-level training. The engineering co-op program gives you an edge over other engineering students, and co-op experiences pay handsomely, too.

COMMUNICATE. You cannot become an effective leader without communicating your design expectations to your team. Our program stresses communication skills and the importance of professionalism and ethics, essential elements of well-educated engineers.
