Parkland College

Construction Design and Management

Program Code: ECDM AAS

Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.)
Minimum graduation requirement —68 semester hours

The Construction Design and Management Program prepares the student to enter the construction industry in two major areas: building construction or civil construction (roads, bridges, subdivisions). Entry-level employment is generally in the areas of computer-aided drafting, surveying technician, field inspector, material tester, project manager, or cost estimator. With substitutions of mathematics courses, this program may be transferred to universities offering a B.S. degree in construction management.

Program Notes*
• Students may substitute a technical elective for CIT 230 and another surveying course for CIT 211 with approval of program director or department chair.
• MGT 113 (Human Relations in the Workplace) is recommended as a Business elective.
