Construction engineering jobs is
a professional discipline that deals with
the designing, planning, construction,
and management of infrastructures such
as highways, bridges, airports, railroads, buildings, dams, and
utilities. These Engineers are unique such that they are a cross
between civil engineers and construction managers. Construction
engineers learn the designing aspect much like civil engineers and
construction site management functions much like construction managers.
The
primary difference between a construction engineer and a construction
manager is that the construction engineer has the ability to sit for the
Professional Engineer license (PE) whereas a construction manager
cannot. At the educational level, construction managers are not as
focused on design work as they are on construction procedures, methods,
and people management. Their primary concern is to deliver a project on
time, within budget, and of the desired quality.
The difference between a construction
engineer and civil engineer is only at the educational level as both
disciplines are able to sit for the PE exam giving them the same title
of engineer. Civil engineering students concentrate more on the design
work, gearing them toward a career as a design professional. This
essentially requires them to take a multitude of design courses.
Construction engineering students take design courses as well as
construction management courses. This allows them to understand both the
design functions as well as the building requirements needed to design
and build today’s infrastructures.
