ABOUT CIVIL (CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT)

The Civil (construction engineering and management) or CEM is a degree course that you can take to study the application of both technology and science in construction and building infrastructure. This course is a mix of a construction management course that deals with the actual construction processes and an engineering course that deals with designing—the students. They graduate as construction engineers from this course take up planning and execution works of buildings. The graduates of this course will know about applying tools of the trade also will be equipped with specific other tools.

WHAT IS CIVIL (CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT)?

Every student who chooses this course conditions the need for critical thinking, scientific expertise, and skills. These skills are required for construction engineering and Management. The obstacles from the worksite can be overcome, and the efficiency can be improved by inventing and implementing new solutions. The construction industry will be able to benefit from construction engineering management in various ways. These include natural disaster resilience, productivity, and improved safety measures. In short, students who take the Construction Engineering Management course can take care of anything in the construction industry. There are pretty good degrees a Civil (Construction Engineering and Management) student can get; few such degrees are:

• A B.S. Degree achieved for Civil Engineering.
• M.S. Degree the students will get for Civil Engineering
• Joint M.S. Degrees for Civil Engineering (Construction) and Architecture
• PhD. Degree, Civil Engineering
• Global Leaders Program (5-year B.S. + M.S. degrees, this degree is for Illinois university undergraduates only)

The students who choose Construction Engineering and Management have a plus point of having an option to develop expertise in other engineering fields like mechanical engineering, building information modelling, Management, Environmental engineering, and many more areas. The course is for two years, and the examination is on a semester basis.

ELIGIBILITY AND CAREER IN CIVIL (CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT)

The eligibility criteria for students seeking graduation in Civil (Construction Engineering and Management) is:

• The student should be an undergraduate from an Engineering (BE) or BTech course.
• Should have an average score of 40-50 per cent from a reputed institution.

There will be online and offline modes of admission procedures that the students who have eligibility can apply. The student will get admission based on either the entrance examination or merit. There are two options for Civil (Construction Engineering and Management) graduate students. It is either to work in the field of work in a confined office. But sometimes there is a chance that the students get to work in the area and an office. The graduates can choose a designing engineering career or can focus on the actual construction and engineering works. Construction engineering and management graduates will have a wide variety of career options to choose the best career path. These career options include:

• General contractors who take contacts for building bridges, buildings, roads, railways, etc. roads
• Mechanical/electrical contractors
• Consulting and design firms
• Oil and gas industry
• Aviation industry
• Owners and developers

If the students are interested in becoming professional engineers after this course, they can take a PE course. And the graduates will also be able to start their firms and can also get executive positions.
