Graduate Programs M.Eng (Construction Engineering and Management)
The Master of Engineering (CE&M) is for students concentrating on state of the art construction professional practice. It requires 30 hours of coursework that follow the program below.
M.S.E (Construction Engineering and Management)
The Master of Science in Engineering (CE&M) is for students interested in combining research with construction professional practice. This includes students who wish to pursue a PhD following their Master’s study. The MSE (CE&M) requires 30 hours of coursework that follow the program below:
Dual Master's Degree Programs
The Construction Engineering and Management program has developed formal dual degree programs with the College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the Graduate School of Business Administration through which a student can earn the M Eng (CE&M) and the Master of Architecture or the Master of Business Administration. Dual programs have also combined the M Eng (CE&M) or MSE (CE&M) with Master’s in structures, materials, geotech, industrial and operations engineering, and naval architecture and marine engineering. Students complete course requirements for both degrees; however, dual counting of some courses reduces the total hours below that required when pursuing the degrees separately. PhD Degree Program
The PhD program is open to outstanding applicants who have demonstrated excellence in their coursework and a capability for independent research. The focus of the doctoral work is on the student's dissertation research, which must make a significant contribution to knowledge. The PhD program requires at least 21 credit hours of coursework beyond a Master's degree, not including independent study, to prepare the student for research in a specific area of Construction Engineering and Management. Students without a Master’s degree from the University of Michigan may need to take additional courses to obtain the broad knowledge in Construction Engineering and Management expected of a University of Michigan PhD. To see a list of topics that past University of Michigan faculty and PhD students in CEE have researched, refer to the CEM Graduate Program Brochure. More Information
The Master of Science in Engineering (Civil Engineering) is for students who want to combine a Master’s in Construction Engineering and Management with courses in other areas of Civil and Environmental Engineering. This degree requires the same 30 hours of coursework as the MSE (CE&M), except that the 6 hours of program electives must be outside the construction area. M Eng (CE&M) students select a minor concentration in an appropriate area outside Construction Engineering and Management, such as another area of Civil and Environmental Engineering, another department of the College of Engineering, the Graduate School of Business Administration, or the Graduate Program in Architecture. M Eng (CE&M) and MSE (CE&M) program electives may be selected from graduate construction courses and from other areas, including those listed above for the M Eng minor concentration. The academic year consists of the Fall Term (September-December) and the Winter Term (January-April). A limited number of courses are also taught in the Spring Term (May-June). Students may enter the graduate program in either the Fall or Winter Term. Most students take a total of 27 hours in the Fall and Winter Terms, and 3 hours in the Spring Term, completing the program in ten months of study. A few well-prepared and highly-motivated students complete the program in eight months of study. Related Links: |
