Construction Engineering
Jointly offered by the departments of:
Construction System- UNL College of Engineering in Omaha (Peter Kiewit Institute)
Construction Management- UNL College of Engineering in Lincoln
The Construction Engineering major integrates engineering, construction, and management courses. This program is designed for persons fulfilling the construction industry's need for licensed professional engineers. It resembles the construction management program but provides greater emphasis on engineering, scientific, and technical courses so that the requirements for licensure are met. The courses in Construction Engineering focus on the wishing to specialize in construction's technological and applied aspects. Courses concentrate on the application of engineering principles to solve real world problems construction problems.
The 127 semester hour program outlined in the Sample Schedule of Classes below leads to the Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (BSE), with a major option in Construction Engineering (CONE).
