Construction Engineers: What Should I Build?

Friday, October 25, 2024
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM CT
Location: MPCCW - 196 B
From underground to touching the sky, water impoundment to demolition, there’s an abundance of project types you can work on in the construction industry, but which one is for you? Fear of heights? Maybe you want to stick to highways and paving. Or are you the type of person who likes to climb higher and higher? Skyscrapers and bridges might be just the right fit. Have you ever dug a hole just to see how far down you could go? Tunneling and dams could be for you. There are so many areas to specialize in construction and our panel of civil engineers can give you the rundown of what it’s like to work on different construction projects so you can find the type that fits you best.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe project types available in the construction industry.
  • Develop a career path best suited for you.
  • Analyze the lessons learned by the panelists then recognize and appraise similar situations in your career.
