ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

M.Tech in Construction Engineering and Management (2 years) programme is an interdisciplinary programme that focuses on the knowledge & skills required for several domains. It includes planning, coordination, and successful implementation of large projects such as the design and construction of structures and buildings, ship structures, aircraft, dams, roads, bridges, etc. It is a fusion of engineering and management. At NCU India, the M.Tech programme in Construction Engineering and Management is designed to give students an insight into the scientific principles involved in the successful execution and management of construction projects. As the top Civil Engineering institute in Delhi NCR, we strive to ensure that the latest technological trends and hands-on software training in construction management are integral parts of the program. NCU provides a comprehensive understanding of construction processes, project management, and sustainable practices. One thing that differentiates NCU from other similar institutions is the course curriculum, which encompasses exhaustive coursework covering essential topics in construction engineering, project management, cost estimation, risk management, quality control, sustainable construction, and finally site management safety. We aim to be among the best Civil Engineering colleges in India, and subsequently, the courses offered as part of the programme are designed with a professional outlook towards the development of engineering and managerial skills of the graduates.

Market trends of Construction Engineering and Management

• Employment of construction managers is projected to grow 10 percent over the next ten years, faster than the average for all occupations. Construction managers are expected to be needed to oversee the anticipated increase in construction activity over the coming decade.
• Bureau of Labour Statistics has set the average salary of a construction manager of about $23,000 a year. All over the world, the demand for construction managers is expected to grow by 20 times in the next ten years. In India, a construction manager can expect an average salary of INR 8.5 Lakh per annum.
• The desire for project support through smart  project management tools software is growing day by day.
• The Construction Management Association of America awards the Certified Construction Manager (CCM) designation to workers who have the required experience and who pass a technical exam.
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly ensuring greater efficiency in construction management domain [source:  AI in the building industry]. Artificial neural networks help in predicting cost overruns. Furthermore, forecast models calculate realistic time constraints for project control.
