The BSE in construction engineering focuses on a combination of design and management topics, preparing the student for a career in the engineering and construction industry. The degree prepares students who wish to gain a professional engineering license while working at the interface of design and construction; it is desirable to those students who are interested in a career emphasizing construction of infrastructure. The degree makeup includes engineering design and construction management courses with a focus on sustainability and building information modeling topics. Construction management content includes: construction methods contract management cost and schedule control people management project estimating The curriculum's design content includes structures, geotechnical engineering and transportation. Students are further prepared with the computer, management, technical and people skills needed to succeed. This degree is the third in the Southwestern U.S. and one of about 20 worldwide.

The construction engineering graduate will be prepared to begin as a field engineer, project engineer or project designer working for: construction companies design firms facility owners material suppliers specialty subcontractors The graduate will have unique skills which will allow them to take on the role of integrator in the delivery of design build projects or development activities. As the graduate's career progresses, each should be able to take on leadership roles in the delivery of sustainable facilities in the built environment and then progress through successively higher levels of management responsibility. The graduate should be particularly attuned to design and construction of heavy civil and industrial facilities meeting the infrastructure needs of society.
