Mission Statement
The construction management degree program at Florida Tech
is administered by the College of Engineering and has been
developed to provide a curriculum that meets the specific needs
of the expanding construction industry in Florida and throughout
the United States. The construction industry requires professionals
who understand the basics of civil engineering coupled with a
substantial understanding of business subjects such as project
management, contracting, budgeting and cost control. This
program has been designed with input from senior construction
industry professionals who are members of the Construction
Industry Advisory Board at Florida Tech. The curriculum meets
Florida Tech’s core requirements, functions within the institutional
framework established for all Florida Tech programs and is
consistent with the institutional mission and assessment procedures
of the university.
The main objective of the construction management program is to
provide an education that will lead to a leadership role in the construction
industry, while preparing students to become responsible
members of society. The curriculum is responsive to current social,
economic and technical developments in the field of construction,
and reflects the application of evolving knowledge in construction
and the behavioral and quantitative sciences. The program incorporates
current and developing curricula that reflect evolving changes
in construction technology and management trends, and the goals
of the program closely reflect the needs of society and the construction
profession.
Curriculum
The curriculum consists of 13 courses designed specifically for
the construction industry and 31 existing courses, for a total of
44 courses and 127 credit hours of instruction. The program is
designed to prepare students for immediate employment as construction
management professionals, rather than as civil engineering
design professionals.
