Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering

Construction Engineering and Management faculty research an array of construction engineering and management-related topics.

Current research projects seek solutions to the three functional areas of construction engineering and management: management techniques, construction operations, and construction methods.

Innovative construction engineering and management research is also conducted at the Construction Management & Technology (CM&T) program at the Center for Transportation Research and Education.

Current research interests:

• Construction administration improvement (Jahren)
