Construction Engineering and Project Management
David Grau Torrent (MS ’04, Ph.D. ’08) and co-researchers explored how automated materials tracking affect productivity of engineered components on industrial sites.
Construction Engineering and Project Management (CEPM) deals with both the managerial and technical aspects of the planning and execution of capital facilities. The CEPM Program at the University of Texas at Austin has long been an established leader in advancing the profession in a number of areas, including pre-project planning, constructability and productivity techniques, human resources, information technologies, and integrated project management. The program seeks to leverage the advances co-developed with the Construction Industry Institute and the Center for Transportation Research, both UT entities.
Undergraduates interested in a career in Construction Engineering and Project Management should major in either Civil Engineering or Architectural Engineering. The University of Texas at Austin also offers graduate degree programs in CEPM.
