SCME News
Welcome to SCME
“The mission of the Faculty of Sustainable Construction Management and 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 Sustainable Construction Management and Engineering offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management and graduate education in Construction Management and Wood Products Engineering. The Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management prepares students for a wide variety of professional careers in the construction industry. The program is designed to promote the utilization of sustainable construction practices and the sustainable manufacture and use of renewable wood products. The department offers to include two concentration areas for undergraduate students in construction management: Sustainable Construction and Renewable Materials and Wood Products Engineering.
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. A new graduate area of study in Sustainable Construction will soon be available.
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.
Wood Products Engineering
A Concentration in Wood Products Engineering provides optional coursework in the manufacturing, properties, and marketing of wood products. In combination with required coursework (renewable materials for sustainable construction, composite products, applied structures) students are prepared for employment in wood products industries, as well as construction management firms and building materials companies.
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
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.
