Engineering and Project Management

The Engineering and Project Management Program trains you for leadership in the construction industry, including engineering practice and field, project, and corporate management. Contemporary construction practice demands that the construction professional has not only mastery of construction concepts but also a strong background in engineering and management methods.

At Berkeley E&PM, we emphasize new technologies, developments, and techniques in both domestic and international construction, as well as the interrelationship of planning, design, and construction. Because we are located in the San Francisco Bay Area, the center of major local, national, and international construction activity, our program easily connects with the construction industry and our class projects make extensive use of both local and international projects. Examples from residential, commercial building, industrial, heavy/civil, underground, and marine/ocean construction are used throughout our curriculum, and we invite industry practitioners to present guest lectures describing industry challenges and solutions.

You are encouraged to take related courses in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, in other engineering departments, and in Business Administration, Architecture, City and Regional Planning, and Law.

E&PM graduates find a wide range of employment opportunities in design, consulting, and construction firms as well as in the public sector.
