  6. Department of Engineering • Student Clubs • Construction Management Club • Sustainability Club • Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) • Student Competitions • ASC Competition (construction) • SHPE Competitions

  7. Department of Engineering • Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering • High potential career in designing and building semiconductor hardware and software systems. • Computer engineers are involved in all aspects of computing • Design of individual microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design, as well as the integration of computer systems into other kinds of systems • Common computer engineering tasks include: • Writing embedded software for real-time microcontrollers, working with sensors, designing mixed signal circuit boards, and designing operating systems.

  8. Department of Engineering • Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering • High-potential career designing, building, and managing state-of-the-art manufacturing and service systems • ABET Accredited • Industrial engineers work to: • Improve the quality and efficiency of the production of goods and services.

  9. Department of Engineering • Bachelor of Science in Construction Management • High-potential career managing public and private construction projects • Only BS in Construction Management in the Bay Area • Combination of courses in engineering, construction, and business • For high school graduates, transfer students and working professionals • Many of our graduates work part time in the industry! • Math and physics requirements

  10. Construction Management • What is Construction Management? Project Manager Modeling / Estimating Field Engineering

  11. Let’s face it: Construction in 2012 • New Value Equation • To deliver for our customers with this big challenge, we need to capitalize on the 3 essential elements of the new value equation: • People • Modeling • Lean Thinking

  12. PEOPLE LISTENING TRUST COMMITMENTS MODELING QUESTIONS TESTING SOLUTIONS SHARED MIND LEAN THINKING SYSTEMS VALUE FLOW WASTE

  13. People • The people element can be described as: • Coordinated action springing from effective communication, which in turn leads to trust among performers.

  14. Modeling • The second part of the new value equation • Modeling is the mastery of Building Information Modeling technologies that now allow us to build in the virtual world of computers before we go out to the job site to construct the pieces physically. • We can call this “Virtual Design & Construction”

  15. Lean Thinking • The third part of the new value equation • Lean is deep and systematic thinking focused on understanding value in order to eliminate waste. • It is a shift in focus to how all the parts affect each other, as opposed to the traditional practice of trying to drive down costs and schedule for each scope of work. http://cm.be.washington.edu/Events/lean.php

  16. Career Outlook • Future • Big management gap in the industry • Shortage of project engineers and managers • Older generation is retiring • Variety • Outdoor/ indoor • Different projects • Flexibility • Private/ public
