Construction Management, Associate in Applied Science
(Suggested Occupational Plan)
The Construction Manager is an essential member of the project team that participates in the planning, estimating, scheduling, and supervision of a construction project in a safe, timely, and quality manner. A construction science career requires the knowledge, leadership, and communication skills to effectively interact with other project team members to construct projects and resolve issues. This degree in construction technology provides the student with the skills to immediately enter the construction industry and become a construction manager or supervisor.
This program prepares individuals to supervise, manage, and inspect construction sites, buildings, and associated facilities. It includes instruction in site safety, personnel supervision, labor relations, diversity, training, construction documentation, scheduling, resource and cost control, bid strategies, rework prevention, construction insurance and bonding, accident management and investigation, applicable law and regulations, and communication skills.
