Master of Engineering in Construction Engineering and Management
The Stevens Institute of Technology degree in Construction Engineering and Management prepares engineers to lead efforts in designing, planning, constructing, and managing society’s buildings, green infrastructure, and utility projects in addition to endeavors yet-to-be-envisioned such as implementing construction of facilities for alternative energy distribution and global megaprojects.
Our students will lead the teams and manage the resources that are crucial to global human health and other demands of developing nations. The classes build upon the student’s engineering undergraduate degree to develop technical, managerial and leadership expertise through advanced areas of study and initiatives including experiential learning and engagement with industry. Both full and part-time graduate students can take advantage of the flexible curriculum designed to fit into the busy schedule as some classes are offered online.
The Master of Construction Engineering and Management is for students with an undergraduate degree in civil engineering wishing to obtain specialized knowledge in construction engineering, project controls and management. Students with other engineering backgrounds may have to take additional prerequisites which will be determined on a case by case basis at time of admission.
The master’s degree requires completion of a total of 30 hours of credit. Each student must complete six core courses (18 credit hours). Students choosing to complete a master’s thesis shall take CM900 for six credits and choose six additional credits from approved electives. Students not choosing to complete a thesis will take a practicum class for three credits and choose nine additional credits from approved electives. The elective classes must be chosen from among the Civil Environmental and Ocean Engineering Department’s graduate courses in this catalog. Elective courses not in the CM program or the CEOE department are available upon the approval of the student’s academic advisor.
