Construction Management Concentration (AETM-CNST)

Department of Applied Engineering, Safety & Technology

Millersville University offers a 4-year Bachelor of Science in Applied Engineering & Technology Management degree (AETM) and a 2-year Associate of Technology degree (AET) in construction technology. The Bachelor's degree is for those individuals who aspire to developing their skills along with increasing their management credentials. The 2-year degree is meant for those people who are interested in developing skills quickly, but it can be seamlessly applied towards a Bachelor's degree at a later date if life situations allow. The construction industry is vitally important to strengthening the nation’s economy. According to the U.S. Census, data construction spending in January 2015 was more than $970 million, including all residential and non-residential construction in the public and private sectors.

“At Millersville I was able to work on a wide variety of classes that covered just about all aspects of the construction industry. I was able to see through the lens of an architect in the CADD class, think like a project manager in the scheduling/estimating classes, and perform the work hands on in the various lab classes. Millersville has provided me with the necessary skillset to get me started on my career as a project manager.”

Interns are required to complete 150 hours per each 3-credit internship. The student, the employer, and the Department of Applied Engineering, Safety & Technology faculty work cooperatively to assure the internship experience achieves the best possible learning value.

LABORATORY FACILITIES FOR AETM Construction Management MAJORS:

In addition to work completed in the field, there are three separate facilities used in the Construction Management program. Specific facilities include:

  • Materials Processing Labs
  • Computer-Aided Drafting & Design
  • Research & Development
