The domain-specific requirements as specified below are based on :

a. the needs of the construction industry as well as on the needs emerging from the

development of society and innovations as outlined in the Introduction to this document. Also,

with regard to this domain, an important characteristic of the development and application of

newly acquired knowledge is the fact that it has to be introduced in existing managing andengineering practices. In other words, students also have to become familiar with the

management of transition processes and organisational changes in the construction industry;

b. the domain-specific and internationally accepted qualifications as defined by the ABET

organisation (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)

The domain specific requirements have been translated into final qualifications in which the

academic level of the programme is indicated as well. The Master of Science Construction

Management and Engineering:

1. has acquired the necessary engineering skills in the context of either civil engineering,

building engineering or complex site engineering (is able to work methodically, is able to inventhis own tools, adapt scientific theories and techniques, is able to work in a multidisciplinary

environment, is application-oriented);

2. is able to develop management processes based on management theory and technical

knowledge

This ability covers the knowledge and application of technical process management and

innovation regarding construction and engineering processes in the content-related subjects

mentioned above. The graduate can find his way in the development and implementation of

unfamiliar process configurations;

3. is able to manage complex assignments in a multidisciplinary team.

This ability covers the knowledge and application of the management of social interactions.The underlying objective of this ability is to find a balance between possible solutions of

complex requirements, technical possibilities, genuine interests of the parties involved and
