Overview
According to a GlobeNewswire report, the worldwide construction sector is estimated to expand, reaching approximately $16.14 trillion by 2028, up from $10.54 trillion in 2023. Specifically, the heavy and civil engineering construction market experienced growth from $1840.28 billion in 2022 to $1936.17 billion in 2023 on a global scale.
The M Tech Construction Engineering and Management syllabus integrates technical expertise with managerial skills, catering to the growing demands of the construction industry. This specialised track delves into areas like project planning, cost estimation, risk management, and sustainable construction practices. The scope of MTech in Construction Management extends beyond traditional engineering roles, opening doors to careers in project management, consultancy, infrastructure development, and real estate. Emphasising both the engineering and managerial aspects, this programme equips students to navigate complexities within the construction domain, making them invaluable assets in the evolving landscape of construction engineering and management.
