Inthe absence of transfer credit, students may need to take additionalgeneral electives to satisfy the total units for the degree. Studentsshould refer to the section on undergraduate admission proceduresfor specific information on admission and evaluation.Prerequisites for the Major(8 courses; 30 quarter units)CHE 101 Introductory Chemistry*(Recommended: Prior completion of MTH 204 or MTH215 or MTH 216A/B)CHE 101A Introductory Chemistry Lab* (1.5 quarter units)(Prerequisite: CHE 101)MTH 210 Probability and Statistics*(Prerequisite: Placement evaluation)PHS 104 Introductory Physics*(Prerequisites: two years of high school algebra and MTH 204or 215 or 216A/B)PHS 104A Introductory Physics Lab (1.5 quarter units)*(Prerequisite: PHS 104)CSC 208 Calculus for Comp Science I*(Prerequisite: MTH 215)EGR 301 Engineering Mathematics (Cross-listed with CSC 310)(Prerequisite: MTH 215)EGR 304 Statics and Strength of Materials(Prerequisite: EGR 301)*May be used to satisfy a general education requirement.Requirements for the Major(17courses; 76.5 quarter units)CEN 419CEN 420CEN 422EGR 440(Prerequisite: MTH 215)Estimating, Scheduling and Control(Prerequisite: CEN 410)Estimating, Scheduling and Control II(Prerequisite: CEN 419)Field Inspection and Safety(Prerequisite: CEN 410)Project Management Fundamentals(Prerequisite: EGR 307)Engineering Senior ProjectEGR 486AEGR 486BEngineering Senior Project I(Prerequisite: Completion of 12 BSCET or 14 BSDET corecourses)Engineering Senior Project II(Prerequisite: EGR 486A)◆ MAJOR IN CONSTRUCTIONMANAGEMENT (620-446)Lead Faculty: Thomas Gatton • (858) 309-3430 • tgatton@nu.eduThis program fills a pressing need in the construction industry forindividuals to conduct and manage activities within the constructionindustry. It has been developed with significant industry guidanceand assistance. The Industry experts are aware that there has beensubstantial growth in this industry, causing a shortage of individualswith the proper training due to a lack of alignment of academicprograms and industry needs.The purpose of the Bachelor of Science in Construction Managementprogram is to provide students with a well-rounded education inwritten and verbal communication, technical constructionfundamentals, mathematics, business, law, humanities, fine arts, andsocial, behavioral and natural sciences that will prepare them for acareer at management, administrative, and ownership positions inthe construction industry. This degree program will prepare thestudent for careers such as construction executive, project manager,project engineer/coordinator, field engineer, planning/schedulingengineer, cost engineer, cost estimator, quality and safety controller,construction superintendent, CAD drafter, and facilities engineer.Additionally, graduates with experience, interest, and/or knowledgeabout specific construction trades will be capable of performing in alarge number of management and administrative positions withinrespective subcontracting companies, including trades such ascarpentry, excavation, concrete work, plumbing, structural steel,cabinetry, roofing, insulation, drywall, electrical, HVAC, andlandscaping.EGR 307EGR 310EGR 313EGR 316EGR 319DEN 408CEN 320CEN 323CEN 410CEN 413CEN 416240Introduction to EngineeringEngineering Economics(Prerequisite: MTH 215)Electrical Circuits and Systems(Prerequisite: MTH 215)Legal Aspects of EngineeringIntro to Graphics & Auto CAD(Prerequisite: MTH 215)Computer Aided Engineering I(Prerequisite: EGR 319)Surveying, Metrics and GIS(Prerequisite: EGR 319)Structural Analysis(Prerequisites: EGR 301 and EGR 304)Construction Materials and Methods(Prerequisite: MTH 215)Plans and Specifications(Prerequisite: EGR 319)Mechanical and Electrical SystemsProgram Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:• Effectively communicate through written, verbal, and graphicalmedia.• Demonstrate knowledge of engineering science and mathematicsand its application in problem solving.• Analyze structural system.• Recognize ethical issues and apply professional standards indecision-making.• Utilize appropriate computer tools for engineering problems.• Apply modern methods for surveying and metrics.• Exhibit a fundamental understanding of building mechanicaland electrical systems.• Demonstrate cost estimating and scheduling techniques.• Integrate and apply field inspection techniquesand safetystandards.• Apply the principles of project management and control.• Apply construction accounting principles and analyze financial
