Teaching Construction IT
The body of knowledge in Construction IT has grown at a very fast pace during the last decade. Similarly, the demand for knowledgeable young people with a graduate degree in this area is growing even faster. Construction companies already have senior personnel who are experts in the traditional fields, such as scheduling and estimating. These experts, however, are usually of some age, with little to no exposure to new technologies in their field. Companies seek to fill this gap with young people who have already been exposed to IT concepts, such as building information models, decision support systems, databases, data collection and analysis, and knowledge discovery, and are willing to champion the effort of integrating these concepts into their employer's business practices and of teaching them to the senior personnel.
Our teaching focuses in conveying the core construction concepts, as well as the modern IT concepts that distinguish our graduates from others. Deep knowledge in both is necessary for a successful career in construction.
