The Construction Engineering (CON) team focuses on creating and implementing cutting-edge principles and methods to improve the sustainability and durability of infrastructure. We utilize engineering expertise and innovative technologies to efficiently construct diverse infrastructure projects, optimizing resource allocation to complete projects on schedule, within budget, to specified standards, and with minimized risks.
While advancements in Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Information Technology (IT) have enhanced planning in the construction sector, challenges like budget overruns and delays persist in large-scale projects. This research aims to revolutionize construction project management by leveraging cognitive computing (robotics, computer vision, and machine learning) alongside BIM. Key research areas include:
Self-navigating ground and aerial robots (UGVs and UAVs) for tracking construction progress, quality, and safety.
Visual data analysis for automated performance assessment.
Enhancing communication between on-site and off-site teams using Augmented Reality (real-time comparison of actual and planned construction states).
Streamlining and expanding customized safety training programs

Qualification Requirements
A bachelor's degree in engineering. Most of our graduate students have a background in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related engineering discipline (e.g., Chemical and Mechanical). Many successful students in our programs have backgrounds in a variety of engineering disciplines.
Applicants without a degree in a related field will need to take required background courses to bridge the non-engineering gap.
GPA 3.0 or above:
An overall GPA of at least 3.0/4.0.
IELTS scores with an overall band score of at least 6.5. Minimum test scores for each section are listed below: Listening 6.5, Reading 6.5, Writing 6.5, Speaking 6.5
TOEFL with a total score of at least 80 on the Internet-based Test (iBT), and with minimum test scores for each section of: Listening 18 points, Reading 18 points, Writing 18 points.
Computer-based TOEFL scores must be 213 or higher (with at least 17 on three sections and no section score below 13). The paper-based test requires a score of 550 or higher (with scores of 50 on at least two of the three sections and no section score below 45).
