After building houses for several years, I recently applied for a position as an assistant project manager in the commercial construction industry. Without the challenges that the CEM program has given me, I do not feel that I would be prepared for this role. I feel that this degree helps jump start us late bloomers back to the front of the crowd. I would not trade this degree for the world, and it has given me the confidence to compete with the best of the best in the construction industry.

Alumni Surveys

We are proud of our alumni and their academic accomplishments. Every year, a survey is emailed to our Construction Engineering Management (CEM) graduates. If you are part of the CEM family and would like to participate in the next survey, we need your current contact information. Please take the time to update your information!

The alumni survey data helps us to stay connected, lets us know your current employment field, how the knowledge gained from the curriculum has benefited your career, and allows alumni to share successes of a promotion or job advancement. Fifty-eight CEM alumni answered our most recent alumni survey and the results are shown below.
 

  • 100% of graduates agreed that participation in CEM improved their technical skills, including accounting and finance, project management, software, standards and regulation, and generally the ability to solve complex problems.
  • 20% of graduates' annual income increased by more than 50% since beginning CEM. Almost 35% saw their annual income increase by 21-50%.
  • 86% of graduates claim to have been successful in acquiring related employment or job advancement, or in being accepted for further graduate or professional study as a result of their experience in the CEM program.
  • More than 96% of graduates agree that CEM was a great benefit.
