Bachelor of Science in Construction Management Technology

Construction Management Technology Major, Bachelor of Science (BS)

The Construction Management Technology degree focuses on selected areas of technology, physics, construction materials and techniques, emphasizing courses such as construction estimating, soils and surveying, building codes, and architecture. This concentration prepares graduates to enter and progress in supervisory or management positions in the construction industry. Initial employment may be as an estimator, laboratory technician in materials testing, construction inspector, or field engineer.

Note: including university requirements, the program requires a minimum of 180 credits, an average of 15 credits per quarter for a 12 quarter, four-year program. The 180 credits are based upon the following assumptions: 

• Students have had one year of high school drafting. If this assumption is not true, then the student will have to take METC 102;
• Students will have satisfied university proficiencies. If this assumption is not true, then the student will have to complete up to six more classes. (See Undergraduate Degree Requirements).

Grade Requirements: In order to graduate, students majoring in the department must earn an average GPA ≥2.5 in all courses required for this major (all courses in the list below).

The following plan of study is for a student with zero credits. Individual students may have different factors such as: credit through transfer work, Advanced Placement, Running Start, or any other type of college-level coursework that requires an individual plan.

Courses may be offered in different terms and not all courses are offered every term, checking the academic schedule is paramount in keeping an individual plan current. There may be some courses that have required prerequisites not listed in the plan, review the course descriptions for information. Students should connect with an advisor to ensure they are on track to graduate.

All Undergraduate students are required to meet the Undergraduate Degree Requirements.

University Graduation Requirements (UGR) and Breadth Area Course Requirements (BACR) courses may be less than 5 credits and additional credits may be required to reach the required 180 total credits needed to graduate.  Students should connect with an advisor to ensure they are on track to graduate.

Students who earn a BS in Construction Management Technology from EWU should be able to:

• communicate effectively;
• develop a commitment to quality, timeliness and continuous improvement;
• develop a recognition of the need for, and the ability to engage in, lifelong learning;
• develop an ability to understand professional, ethical or social responsibilities;
• develop an appropriate mastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of their disciplines;
• identify, analyze and solve technical and creative problems.
