Industrial Technology

Construction Management Concentration

This concentration is designed to prepare graduates for advancement opportunities in construction-related industries primarily as site managers, superintendents, project managers, directors of operations, and construction managers. Students in this concentration take courses that emphasize theories and applications of planning, managing, directing, organizing, and controlling construction operations.

This concentration is available only to non-traditional and transfer students with enough related technical experience or course work to satisfy the “Technical Competency” requirements of the concentration. To satisfy the technical competency requirements, non-traditional students must complete a portfolio assessment based on the State of Maine standards for Secondary Vocational Education (Construction-related trades). To satisfy the technical competency requirements, transfer students must complete a construction-related associate degree program from a regionally-accredited community or technical college (2+2 articulation agreements are currently in place with Central and Southern Maine Community Colleges).
