The global demand for skilled construction managers is on the rise. Our Construction Engineering and Management certificate equips you with the necessary skills to meet this demand.
This self-paced online certificate provides comprehensive training on how construction projects are conceptualized, organized, and financed. You will master techniques for accurately accounting for ongoing projects and discover best practices in construction project management. Additionally, you will learn about selecting the right equipment to enhance efficiency and safety, along with leading sustainability practices in the industry.
Prepare yourself to excel in the construction field with our expert-led certificate.
This self-paced online certificate includes 6 courses that take around 6-7 months to complete with an estimated 5 hours of course work and instruction per week. Complete all 6 courses within 9 months — or faster if you’re able — from the start of your first course.
If you are interested in pursuing a Master’s in Construction Engineering and Management, your certificate serves as a stackable credential. This means you may be eligible for up to 6 credits to be waived if you apply and are admitted to the degree program.
Aspiring construction managers and construction engineers will benefit from this course. A foundational knowledge of mathematics (including algebra and geometry) and foundational physics (including forces and motion) is required.
Additional roles which will benefit from this certificate include:
Consider stacking your certificate into a Masters degree in Construction Engineering & Management
When you successfully complete this certificate program, and if you apply and gain admission to the Master of Engineering in Construction Engineering and Management (M.Eng.) offered by the University of Michigan, you may be eligible to waive up to 6 credits toward your degree. This stackable certificate is an opportunity to reduce your total degree costs, and time to completion.
