The Discipline
Construction management is a field where there are new problems to solve daily, and the challenge is always present to find a better way to build the cities, offices, homes, highways, and multiple projects that will meet worldwide demands.
BYU's construction management curriculum covers five essential areas: construction technology, architecture, engineering, business management, and construction management.
Career Opportunities
The program has had 100 percent placement within the construction industry, with salaries typically near the top range of BYU graduates. Graduates find employment in a variety of construction-industry-related positions. Typical position titles are superintendent, estimator, scheduler, field engineer, inspector, general contractor, sales representative, insurance and bonding agent, safety engineer, project manager, owner's representative, financial loan officer, etc.
Alumni find they are qualified for employment in all types of construction. It is a broad-based program that provides the training and experience needed for several occupational opportunities.
This major is also excellent preparation for students desiring further study in architecture, business management, or construction law.
General Information

Technology Education
BS Technology Teacher Education (90-91 hours,* including certification hours)
The Discipline
The study of technology education prepares students to teach drafting, electronics, graphic arts, woodwork, metalwork, auto mechanics, and technology at the secondary and the postsecondary levels. The curriculum covers innovative technologies such as lasers, fiber optics, robotics, fluid power, electronic publishing, video production, multimedia production, and a variety of other applications. The dramatic pace of technological innovation makes this a vital major—one that aims to improve the rising generation's technological literacy and increase their awareness of technology's impacts upon individuals, society, and the environment. An ever-evolving adaptation to advancements adequately prepares graduates for technology careers.
Career Opportunities
The program prepares industrial/technology/vocational teachers for junior high/middle schools, high schools, and post-high-school programs. Additional education is required to prepare for teacher education in a college or university. Some graduates work for innovators and suppliers of technology-related equipment. The department continually has many more requests for teachers than available graduates.
