Civil engineering students who focus on Construction and Infrastructure Systems Engineering will participate in state-of-the-art fundamental and applied projects in the areas of information technology and systems, data and system modeling and visualization, automation and robotics, infrastructure sensors and sensor systems, risk analysis, and other advanced technology-based areas.
Undergraduate students wishing to focus their civil engineering education around construction and infrastructure may choose to pursue the CISE Concentration. This concentration requires students to take a set of courses in order to earn a special transcript designation upon graduation.
Within the CISE Concentration, students may select one of two tracks: Construction Engineering Management and Infrastructure Systems Engineering.
Construction Engineering and Management Track
Our program promotes critical thinking, facilitates experiential learning, and builds successful leaders in the Architectural/Engineering/Construction industry.
Students in the CEM track of the CISE Concentration have opportunities to conduct applied research with leading faculty and engage in capital-intensive urban construction projects in Atlanta, which is one of the strongest construction markets in the U.S.
Students benefit from excellent faculty with previous construction industry experience and an active network of industry supporters, including general contractors, owners, construction management consultants, government entities, subcontractors, engineering design firms, owners, material suppliers, and pre-fabrication companies.
Construction Engineering and Management (CEM)
In CEE Undergraduate CISE Concentration Requirements
Required: CEE 4100 Construction Engineering and Management

Infrastructure Systems Engineering Track
Infrastructure Systems Engineers design, coordinate, and maintain infrastructure which includes creating solutions for energy demands, water shortages and other global challenges. Our program promotes the creation and implementation of technology to develop infrastructure system solutions.
Undergraduate students who pursue the Infrastructure Systems Engineering Track of the Construction and Infrastructure Systems Engineering Concentration benefit significantly from the established active network with consultants, government entities and energy producing companies.
Students also have opportunities to conduct research with faculty members in ISE who are internationally recognized for their innovative contributions in transportation infrastructure, facility life-cycle assessment, social-environmental assessment, extreme event dynamics, and sustainable and resilient communities and infrastructure.
