The program builds and enhances professional capacities in such individuals, through an academic amalgamation of theoretical coursework, seminars, and research work. The course’s objective is to develop conceptual and analytical abilities in students towards making them excellent thinkers and planners.
Students enrolled in the course are familiarized with the following areas Project Management, Construction Management, Contracts Management, Construction Quality, Safety and Equipment Management, Supply Chain Management of Construction Projects, Modern Construction Materials and Technologies, Computer Applications in Construction, Such As ERP, MS Project, Primavera, Building Information Modelling (BIM) for the construction industry.
Such postgraduates can work in construction organizations, infrastructure development, and leading consultancy firms in the country and abroad. Those wishing to study the discipline further may go for doctoral studies or pursue research at universities and research institutions. With the growth in the infrastructure sector, the requirement for Construction Management Professionals is also on the up and up.
Construction Engineering is a part of the discipline of Civil Engineering and involves the concepts of the designing and planning processes of a building or such architecture. It consists of processes like construction and management of infrastructures, such as roads, dams, tunnels, bridges, airports, railroads, footpaths, buildings, public sanitation, utilities, and other such projects.
Construction Engineering is a more practically-based approach towards projects. Construction Technicians combine skills in civil engineering with the finesse of management. The projects that they are entrusted with, are similar to those of civil managers.
Students enrolled to the course are imparted skills in design work, aimed at preparing them for careers in professional design, engineering science, and such design projects. The course also includes management aspects by familiarizing candidates with construction procedures, methods, costs, expenditure planning, schedules, and personnel management.
