Construction Engineering concerns the planning and management of the construction of structures such as highways, bridges, airports, railroads, buildings, dams, and reservoirs, hence a Construction Engineer is essentially a Civil Engineer that designs, manages and oversees projects within the construction industry. A Construction Engineering programme combines aspects of both - Civil Engineering and as well as of Construction Management.

To say that one season is the season for construction or civil engineering would be incorrect, because every season is the season for construction engineering. Construction will always be an integral part of human survival, be it office buildings, places of worship, houses and apartments, hospitals and schools, multiplexes, etc. If you are keen to add to the concrete jungle out there, perhaps using more eco-friendly ways than our predecessors did, you should opt for a Bachelor’s in Construction Engineering degree.
