Overview

The Tishman Construction Management Program (TCMP) offers the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degree program in Construction Engineering and Management (CE&M), as well as multiple options for dual degrees in collaboration with other programs at the university. The M.Eng. program requires 30 credit hours of graduate work (typically 10 courses) and does not require a thesis or other major research project. At least two courses must be taken in areas other than construction.

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not required for application to the M.Eng program, but is strongly recommended especially for international applicants. Letters of recommendation are required. Students who do not meet undergraduate degree requirements for regular admission may be granted conditional admission. Students may be required to take courses without graduate credit to remedy deficiencies in their undergraduate programs.

CEE 530 - Construction Professional Practice (Student Team Consulting) is a core course in the M.Eng. program. Students take CEE 530 in two successive semesters. CEE 530 consists of two parts: (1) Seminars presented by industry speakers on their practices and (2) the Construction Student Team Consulting Project.

Construction Student Team Consulting has been nominated for a NOVA Award for innovation in construction education and practice, and it has been featured in an Engineering News-Record Editorial as an innovative program.

Master of Engineering Programs

M.Eng. in Construction Engineering and Management

This program requires at least 18 hours of graduate courses in the Construction Engineering and Management Program. Also available are dual degrees by which a student can receive an M.Eng. in Construction Engineering and Management and a Master of Architecture degree or a Master of Business Administration degree. Regular admission is open to students holding a degree in any engineering discipline. Applicants with bachelor's degrees in architecture or other non-engineering programs may be granted admission if they have taken a year of calculus and a year of physics.

Dual M.Eng. in Construction Engineering and Management/Master of Architecture

The dual degree program combines the two-year 60-hour M Arch program with the one-year, 30-hour M.Eng. (CE&M) program, resulting in a two and one-half year, 75-hour program. Please contact Prof. Vineet Kamat (vkamat@umich.edu) for more information.

Dual M.Eng. in Construction Engineering and Management/Master of Business Administration

The dual degree program requires the 12 hours of core courses and 9 hours of graduate construction electives in the M.Eng. (CE&M) program and the 30 hours of core courses and 15 hours of electives in the MBA program. Students also take a 3-hour independent study course (CEE 630) to integrate general Construction Engineering and Management skills. Students also take Construction Contracting (CEE 431) if they have not taken it or its equivalent previously. The dual degree program combines the two-year, 60-hour MBA program with the one-year, 30-hour M.Eng. (CE&M) program, resulting in a two-year (including Spring and/or Summer terms) 66- or 69-hour program. The dual degree program can be completed in two years if the first year is devoted to core MBA courses. Please contact Prof. Vineet Kamat (vkamat@umich.edu) for more information.
