The term “construction,” generally includes two main categories: Construction Engineering and Construction Management. Construction Engineering includes the design work often completed during the construction of a facility. These designs often include temporary structures to keep a certain area dry or temporary designs to temporarily stabilize a building frame under construction. Construction Engineering uses all of the elements of the other subdisciplines within civil engineering, but are executed during construction. Construction management, on the other hand, is related to the implementation of construction techniques, overseeing the project schedule, budget, and managing subcontractors. Construction management also includes considerations regarding the overall safety on a construction site. Construction managers also stay in touch with clients and owners about the progress of their project, keeping them current on any changes, and working with them on project closeout matters. Students who specialize in construction within the civil engineering discipline are well-prepared for work within the construction field; most often hiring in as a project engineer, where they may assist the project manager in any number of daily tasks involved in the successful execution of a construction project.
