Construction Engineering and Management
Undergraduate Program
The curriculum in Construction
Engineering and Management is designed for the student interested in
the planning, design, direction, and management of construction
projects. It includes the core course requirements in mathematics, the
physical sciences, and the humanities and social sciences. After
exposure to engineering fundamentals and engineering design of
facilities, the curriculum provides a series of specialty courses in
construction engineering related to the analysis, design, and
management of the construction process. Students may select either the
General Construction concentration, or, for those interested in
mechanical or industrial process systems, the Mechanical Construction
concentration.
A specialty in construction was first offered at NC State within the
civil engineering degree in the 1920's. In the late 1940's, a separate
degree was established which evolved to the first accredited
construction degree in the U.S. in 1953. Over the years the program
has maintained a close relationship with industry.

Student Organizations
In addition to a broad range of recreational and cultural activities
available at the university, students have many opportunities for
professional growth. The program is the home of the nation's first
student chapter of the Associated General Contractors, chartered in
1930. Students also participate in student chapters of the American
Society of Civil Engineers, the National Association of Home Builders,
and the National Society of Professional Engineers. Each group
undertakes projects to further student exposure to the profession and
invites guest speakers from industry and government. Students who
accumulate outstanding academic records may be considered for
membership in the honorary societies of Phi Kappa Phi, Tau Beta Pi,
and Chi Epsilon.
