Using  building information modelling (BIM) and a connected data environment, digital construction engineering and management enables both broad and detailed views of all phases of a construction project, helping mitigate problems that can slow down a project. Digitalization offers profound improvements in pre-construction by using cloud-based bid management tools. In addition, mobile applications integrated with web-based platforms can be used to precisely monitor asset installation in real time and remotely inspect the work by reviewing project alerts and photos from the field, without the need to be physically present on site. Reduced time in the field, decreased costs, real-time reporting, automated material reconciliation–all of these benefits have a direct impact on revenue realization.

The objectives of the Bachelor of Science in Digital Construction Engineering and Management program are to produce graduates who will:

• have successful careers in digital construction engineering and management and become independent thinkers, effective communicators, team members, decision makers and leaders in industry and public sectors
• understand the global, ethical and social implications of the digital construction engineering and management profession and promote public safety and environmental protection
• pursue advanced studies successfully and engage in continuing education and lifelong learning
