Overview

The Construction Management curriculum at the University of Nebraska Omaha embraces a course of study in:

Construction is one of the largest and most diversified industries in the country, accounting for approximately four percent of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).

The key professional in this vast enterprise is the “constructor,” a term given to leaders and managers in the construction industry who are responsible for planning, scheduling, and building the projects designed by architects and engineers. These highly-specialized efforts are indispensable in meeting the country’s growing need for new structures, infrastructure and environmental controls that are of high quality and are cost effective, efficient and sustainable.

Career

The following is a list of the Construction Management Program Educational Objectives (PEO) that graduates are expected to attain within a few years of graduation:

Develop construction project objectives and plans including delineation of scope, budget and schedule.
Select project participants and set performance requirements.
Maximize resource efficiency through judicious procurement and management of labor, materials and equipment.
Implement and complete construction activities through coordination and control of scheduling, contracting, estimating and cost control.
Develop effective communication protocols and mechanisms for resolving conflicts associated with the construction process.
Ensure quality and safety through design, measurement, analysis and control.

Educational standards and criteria were established by the construction faculty of The Charles W. Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction and approved by the Construction Industry Advisory Committee (CIAC) and ABET, the accrediting agency for the construction management program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
