MA/MS in Construction Management and Engineering

Offered jointly by the Built Environment department and Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences, this research-driven, project-oriented master occupies the space between construction engineering on one side and management science and economics on the other, concentrating on managing and implementing information processes for smart cities and buildings in response to challenges such as climate change, the energy transition, the circular economy and digital twinning. One strand, City Information Management, works with urban informatics such as geospatial and sensor data and 3D city data to build virtual representations of cities linked in real time to the physical world and its residents, supporting decisions by municipalities, citizens, architects, planners, engineers and companies through urban analytics. A second strand, Building Information Management, manages information across a building's full life cycle, from design through construction, operation and eventual demolition, combining static data such as building models and point clouds with dynamic data such as sensors and IoT feeds to create AI-driven digital twins of buildings and their occupants.
