Undergraduate
About the Program
Become a powerhouse of the construction industry by combining business and civil engineering. Build a strong foundation in subjects such as structural engineering, project management and cost estimation. As a Construction Engineering and Management graduate, you will work with all areas of the industry including developers, architects, building departments, contractors and more. Through our numerous hands-on lab courses and classes focused on practical applications you will be well-prepared for your dream career in commercial, heavy-civil or residential construction.
The Polytechnic Approach
With hands-on training in drafting, computer applications, surveying, soil mechanics, and more, you will be industry-ready from day one. Inspect and interpret construction drawings, assess risks to projects, and explore scheduling and resource allocation methods. Understand a project engineer’s role in managing legal, financial, and personnel aspects of a construction project.
Career Outcomes
Courses
The Construction Engineering and Management Program offers a comprehensive education for construction engineers and industry leaders. The Construction Engineering and Management Program provides the student with a firm background in construction practices.

Associate Professor, Construction Engineering and Management
Ghada M. Gad
"My research expertise is in the area of construction engineering and management, specifically contracting methods, procurement strategies, cost forecasting, risk management, project performance metrics, and social aspects of construction projects. I have been heavily involved with transportation-related research (highways and airports) on the federal and state level. Before starting my academic career, I worked in the industry on mega construction infrastructure projects.”

Civil Engineering Student Activities
An excellent college education includes much more than classes, and extracurricular activities can enhance your college experience. That’s why the Civil Engineering Department encourages participation in student clubs, competition teams, and organizations.
Licensure Disclosure and Accreditation
California State University programs for professions that require licensure or certification are intended to prepare the student for California licensure and certification requirements. Admission into programs for professions that require licensure and certification does not guarantee that students will obtain a license or certificate. Licensure and certification requirements are set by agencies that are not controlled by or affiliated with the California State University and licensure and certification requirements can change at any time.
The California State University has not determined whether its programs meet other states' educational or professional requirements for licensure and certification. Students planning to pursue licensure or certification in other states are responsible for determining whether, if they complete a California State University program, they will meet their state's requirements for licensure or certification. This disclosure is made pursuant to 34 CFR §668.43(a)(5)(v)(C). For more information, click here.
