Scope and Objectives

Construction is the application of scientific and technical knowledge to the processes used to construct infrastructure projects. Graduate studies in Construction at OSU emphasize construction engineering and management concepts and techniques and their broader application to the Architecture/Engineering/Construction (AEC) industry.

The Construction graduate program is highly interdisciplinary and aims at developing strong abilities to conduct construction engineering and management work involving basic concepts and principles, technical analysis, planning, design, and management, and the development of knowledge that positively impacts the AEC industry. The program provides students with skills in planning, designing, and implementing construction processes and systems. The course offerings provide a broad awareness of construction concepts and an understanding of scientific and technical knowledge to address construction problems.
