Develop the knowledge and tools necessary for engineering and project management in infrastructure and build interdisciplinary skills to work across all areas of the construction industry.
What You'll Learn
You'll develop the technical knowledge of construction materials needed for geotechnical and structural engineering; the practical skills in construction methods and design implementation; and the application of technology to manage, model, and document construction projects.
- Gain Hands-on Experience
Our students work closely with professors in our new Miller Insulation Construction Materials Lab. They build the tactile and management skills vital for infrastructure design, engineering, and construction.
- Learn Interdisciplinary Skills
Construction engineering integrates the disciplines of construction management, architecture, mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering. To succeed in this diverse field, we train our students to be effective communicators and provide technical knowledge and awareness of each discipline through collaboration with engineering students in our other programs.
- Make Valuable Connections
We have relationships with more than 50 companies, agencies, and organizations around the region, offering our students the chance to intern and make strong professional contacts.

Featured Faculty
Anthony Waldenmaier, PhD(c)
Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering
I grew up in Chicago and have lived in Minneapolis, Fargo, and now Bismarck. I have a passion for roads and pavement design as well as the soil beneath our infrastructure. I enjoy cooking, watching football and hockey, curling (the sport), and building things with my LEGO collection.
Michael Douglas, MS
Chair of Construction Management, Assistant Professor of Construction Management
I started as an assistant professor of Construction Management at the University of Mary in 2024. I primarily teach courses in construction details and analysis, construction estimating, construction scheduling and control, construction safety, and leadership in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries. It is a great gift and joy to have the opportunity to share my 27 years of construction experience with my students. I pray daily for Jesus' guidance as I serve the future leaders of the industry.
