Educational Goals
The ASCE Architectural and Commercial Building Construction Certificate Program prepares professionals in a variety of construction related roles to effectively manage contracts and plan and schedule architecturally designed and led, vertical building projects with specialized knowledge for working in lump sum pricing models. Electives allow for further tailoring beyond unit or lump sum pricing to provide additional expertise as needed in alternative project delivery, quality management, proposal preparation and project controls, based on participants’ particular roles and baseline knowledge.
This program focuses on providing practical knowledge in commercial building/vertical construction industry segment of construction engineering, specifically aimed at addressing industry gaps between typical undergraduate civil engineering education and the necessary skills to work effectively in the commercial construction industry. This includes enhancing knowledge of construction means and methods, and the application of best practices to meet industry demands. The program's flexible, asynchronous format supports working professionals learning at their own time and pace, and helps learners acquire the skills to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
Benefits and Learning Outcomes
