competent project superintendents, prepares students for entry-level
positions in project supervision careers. Students learn material technology,
project scheduling, estimating, cost management, environmental systems,
field engineering, safety and risk management, communication, and
leadership and management skills. The quarterly practicum provides the
venue in which students work on projects specifically designed to provide
current workplace experience. Students are also advised by industry
professionals who make classroom appearances and provide field trips on a
regular basis. Students are given access to computer software and networks
important to their studies.
Program Length
Students are required to complete six quarters of class work; an internship
is required at the completion of the first year of course work before being
promoted to the second year of course work. Graduates earn an Associate
