Welcome to CMWPE

“The mission of the Faculty of Construction Management and Wood Products Engineering is to promote the utilization of sustainable construction practices and renewable wood products through teaching, research and outreach, for a sustainable built environment”

The Department of Construction Management and Wood Products Engineering offers two Bachelor of Science degrees: Construction Management and Wood Products Engineering. Both degrees prepare students for a wide variety of professional careers with particular focus to the construction and wood products manufacturing or marketing industries. The programs are designed to promote the utilization of sustainable construction practices and the sustainable manufacture and use of renewable wood products.

The department is expanding its coursework offerings to include a concentration area in Sustainable Construction and Renewable Materials for CMWPE students with an interest in green construction and building materials, beginning in the Fall of 2008.

Graduate programs leading to M.S., M.P.S. or Ph.D. degrees are offered in the areas of Construction Management, Engineered Wood Products & Structures, Tropical Timbers Wood Science & Technology, Wood Anatomy & Ultrastructure, and Wood Treatments.

Sustainable Construction & Renewable Materials

A Concentration in Sustainable Construction and Renewable Materials provides optional coursework in green construction practices, innovations in residential construction, energy efficiency, material utilization in green construction and green entrepreneurship.

Admissions Information

• Undergraduate Admissions
• Graduate admissions

Many students who enter programs in construction management or wood products engineering are transfer students. Graduates of A.S. programs in liberal arts, math/science, and engineering/science as well as A.A.S. programs in architectural, civil, construction, mechanical, and wood technologies are encouraged to apply. Students with or without two-year degrees who meet all lower-division requirements and have 62 credits in acceptable course work transfer as juniors for a four-semester program. Students who have completed pre-calculus, but have not completed chemistry and/or physics or have not met most of their general education requirements generally finish in five or six semesters.
