Program Educational Objectives


PEO 1: may pursue careers as successful professionals in areas which include, but are not limited to:

• Inspectors: in various construction fields, ensuring quality and compliance with standards.

• Quantity surveyors: analyzing project specifications and drawings, and then they use their knowledge and expertise to determine the quantities of materials, labor, and equipment required.

• Estimators: considering market prices for materials and labor to arrive at accurate cost estimates.

• Quality Control Technicians: collecting samples of materials, such as concrete, soil or metals, from construction sites. They conduct a variety of tests on these materials and produce professional reports.

PEO 2: will exhibit a strong understanding of construction materials, methods, and technologies, and will be capable of selecting appropriate solutions based on project requirements, sustainability principles, and regulatory compliance.
PEO 3: will be prepared to assume leadership roles in the construction industry, exhibiting effective project management skills, decision-making abilities, and the capacity to lead and motivate teams.
PEO 4: should be able to pursue lifelong learning opportunities to improve and expand their technical and professional skills, including bachelor’s degrees.
PEO 5: should be able to advance personally and professionally by accepting professional and societal responsibilities and pursing leadership roles.
PEO 6: should be able to adhere to the highest level of professional code of ethics.
PEO 7: will communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders, including clients, architects, engineers, and construction teams, to facilitate the successful completion of construction projects.
