3.5.1.4. Construction management - undergraduate 4-year degree

Among the top programs in the country, ASU’s construction management curriculum prepares you to lead

and manage the building process while mastering core principles of design, cost estimation and planning.

Construction management professionals combine knowledge of innovative technologies, construction princi-

ples and business management to lead a wide variety of construction projects from residential and commer-

cial buildings to infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges and large facilities.

Our program teaches students to organize, lead and manage the building process. With new technologies and

opportunities, construction executives have large responsibilities and impact daily lives.

What will I study?

Construction management education combines engineering and business curricula. Our students get caught
up in the excitement of construction, enjoy the education and our job placement is very high. You will beco-

3.6.1.1. Overview

Sustainability Engineering concerns responsible use of the world's finite natural resources in a manner which

will not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This requires Engineers to

make optimum use of energy and materials, to mitigate any associated environmental impacts, and to fully
embrace concepts such as life cycle analysis, disassembly and recycling within the design process.
