Master of Science in Building Construction and Facility Management - Technology

This concentration will educate students on advanced and emerging technologies and their applications to the life cycle management of the built environment. The students from this concentration will develop their technical and managerial skills to lead virtual design, construction, and operation management of the Built Environment. There is currently a gap among construction programs in the nation to claim this space of advanced technologies in Construction and Operations management, while there is an increasing demand in the industry for experts who are well-versed both in the construction fundamentals and virtual design and construction (VDC), building information modeling (BIM), robotics/automation in construction, and other cutting-edge technologies. The MSBCFM is also a STEM-designated degree program so that international students can extend their Optional Practical Training (OPT) experience for up to three years. Its integrated approach towards program management, construction management, and facility management has been a magnet for local part-time students, in addition to its hands-on technology applications courses, leadership and communications, and capstone experience.
