Overview
The Civil and Engineering Project Management program covers:
- The basic elements of management of civil engineering projects.
- Roles of all participants in the process - owners, designers, contractors and suppliers.
- Emphasis on the contractual aspect of the process, including project estimating, planning and controls.
We will be hosted by the French engineering university, Ecole Spéciale des Travaux Publics du Bâtiment et de l’Industrie (ESTP). ESTP has a long-term relationship with many of the global French engineering and construction firms. Texas A&M University students will attain a significant competitive advantage by studying civil and engineering project management in a global setting alongside ESTP students.
About the Courses
Civil engineering students will take CVEN 349, and all other engineering students take MTDE 333. There is approximately an 80% overlap of content between the two courses. Modules for each course will address what is common and what is unique.
Engineering is a worldwide industry and teaching these two courses in France recognizes a growing demand for internationally experienced engineering graduates.
Students will complete a predeparture module before arriving in France and will continue coursework upon return to the United States, finishing the class during the spring semester.
