The heavy construction concentration prepares students for careers related to the public works discipline. Graduates become project managers, estimators, schedulers or a combination of all three at an executive level. Typical heavy construction-oriented projects include:

• airports
• bridges
• canals
• dams
• harbor and water facilities
• highways
• pipelines
• power plants
• rapid transit systems
• sewerage systems
