CCET Minors
Minor in Construction (CEC department)
A Minor in Construction from the Department of Civil Engineering and Construction creates tremendous opportunities for students majoring in business or engineering to join the booming construction industry. Business and engineering students with a construction minor will have an adequate understanding of the principles of construction management, including an understanding of the construction project life cycle, project acquisition processes, estimating, scheduling, and construction risk management, among other concepts. The minor was designed to allow students from the various majors to complete it while completing the requirements of their major with the least number of additional courses compared to minors being offered by other institutions.
