The civil and construction unit grants undergraduate degrees, a BA and a BS, in Construction Engineering Management. The curriculum merges science fundamentals, engineering and technology with a significant amount of business content to prepare people for building-sector careers. The BS version holds accreditation from ACCE.
The four-year curriculum stresses practical application alongside underlying principles, and an advising guide explains it in more detail. Students gain a base in natural sciences, math, engineering sciences and business, and learn to analyze information and solve engineering problems. Outcomes include creating cost estimates, schedules and safety plans, giving oral presentations, judging decisions on ethical grounds and analyzing construction methods, materials and equipment. It is offered in Corvallis and through Ecampus.
Prospective students should read the catalog entry for full requirements, sample plans of study and option details, and should meet with an academic advisor to arrange course sequencing around personal circumstances and career plans.
