Hi,
No, Construction Engineering Management and Construction Management are not exactly the same, although there is some overlap. Here's a table to break down the key differences:
| Feature | Construction Engineering Management | Construction Management |
|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | Applying engineering principles to construction projects | Overall planning, coordination, and execution of construction projects |
| Education | Often requires an engineering degree (usually civil engineering) with a specialisation in construction management | Can be entered with a bachelor's degree in construction management or a related field, or even relevant experience |
| Skills | Strong in both engineering and management skills, including structural analysis, cost estimation, scheduling, and risk management | Strong in leadership, communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills |
| Typical roles | Project manager, construction engineer, estimator, scheduler | Field supervisor, superintendent, project manager |
I hope it clears your doubt !
