About the Program
The Master in Construction Engineering and Management degree program at the Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology, Yarmouk University, was established in 2024 to address the growing demand for professionals who can combine advanced technical expertise with effective project management skills. The program is designed to bridge the gap between engineering and management, preparing graduates to lead and innovate in the planning, design, and execution of construction projects.
The construction industry in Jordan and across the Middle East is undergoing significant growth, fueled by large-scale infrastructure projects and an increasing emphasis on sustainability. This evolving landscape offers promising career opportunities for graduates in both the public and private sectors, spanning areas such as structural design, construction supervision, sustainability consulting, and risk management.
The curriculum provides a strong foundation in structural engineering, modern construction methods, and advanced project management practices. Students develop essential competencies in cost estimation, scheduling, contract administration, quality control, and the integration of sustainable construction techniques. Emphasis is placed on practical learning and problem-solving, ensuring students are well-prepared to address real-world challenges in the construction field.
To accommodate different career goals, the program offers two study tracks:
-
Thesis Track: Focuses on scientific research and is suitable for students who wish to pursue doctoral studies or engage in applied research in construction engineering and management.
-
Non-Thesis Track: Includes additional coursework and is designed for professionals aiming to enhance their practical and managerial skills to assume leadership roles in the construction industry.
Graduates of this program are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to lead complex construction projects and drive innovation in a dynamic and competitive sector. The program supports Yarmouk University’s mission to contribute to national development through advanced education, research, and professional training aligned with the needs of the construction industry.
Equip students with a strong foundation that integrates engineering principles with management and decision-making tools to solve complex technical and organizational challenges.
Provide hands-on training in operations management, project planning and control, quality assurance, systems optimization, and the application of data analytics for informed decision-making.
Encourage research and development in key areas of engineering management, including reliability, maintenance, human factors engineering, and simulation, with the goal of supporting innovation in both industrial and service sectors.
Prepare graduates to assume leadership roles by strengthening their capabilities in strategic planning, team management, and effective communication within engineering and technology-driven organizations.
Instill a commitment to sustainability by emphasizing efficient resource management, environmentally responsible practices, and continuous process improvement across technical operations.
Provide real-world learning experiences through industry engagement, applied projects, and a professionally relevant curriculum that connects engineering functions with business objectives.
Study Plan
The Master in Construction Engineering and Management degree program comprises 33 credit hours, typically completed over two academic years. It is carefully designed to equip students with a balanced and comprehensive foundation in both advanced construction engineering principles and effective project management practices, enabling them to lead complex construction projects and contribute to sustainable infrastructure development.
The curriculum includes core courses that address critical topics such as Research Methodologies, Advanced Applied Statistics, Structural Dynamics, Advanced Structural Mechanics, Repair and Rehabilitation of Infrastructures, Construction Law and Dispute Resolution, Advanced Construction and Building Technology, and Advanced Quality Systems in Construction Projects. These courses provide students with a deep understanding of the technical and managerial aspects essential for successful project delivery.
To accommodate diverse professional interests and career objectives, students can select from a variety of elective courses covering specialized areas such as Smart Cities and Sustainable Development, Sustianability and Rsilience of Infrastrucure Systems, Advanced Reinforced Concrete, Artificial Intelligence Applications for Civil Engineers, Finite Element Methods, and Repair and Rehabilitation of Infrastructures. The curriculum is regularly updated to stay aligned with emerging trends and industry best practices.
Students may choose one of two study tracks:
-
Thesis Track: Focuses on independent, supervised research culminating in a thesis. This path is ideal for students intending to pursue doctoral studies or research-intensive careers.
-
Non-Thesis Track: Involves additional coursework and the successful completion of a comprehensive exam, assessing mastery of the program’s core knowledge areas.
This flexible structure ensures that graduates develop both the technical expertise and managerial acumen required to excel in leadership positions within the construction and infrastructure sectors, both locally and internationally.
