International students: Visit the International Fees and Related Costs 2 page for The Bachelor of Technology (Construction Management) program provides a dynamic curriculum that integrates theory, applied research and hands-on practical education in construction management. Recognizing that today s successful construction manager must possess both technical and managerial competencies, the curriculum combines studies in construction science and technology with studies in business and management methods as applied to construction. Students are taught to manage the functions and processes of every aspect of the construction industry. They also master the business and communications skills that are critical to completing projects on time and under budget. Graduates of this program earn the academic designation of B.Tech.(CM). INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES You will have the opportunity to complete a month-long field studies at Shanghai Urban Management College (SUMC) in China, including two weeks of studies and two weeks of work. Shanghai Urban Management College is a multi-divisional college that serves 6,000 students with over 400 faculty members. FIELD STUDY OPTIONS An integral component of the Bachelor of Technology (Construction Management) degree program is a mandatory work term in the spring/summer of the third year of the program. The Centre s Industry Liaison Office (ILO) facilitates this for both the students and prospective employers. Students participate in job preparation courses that cover areas such as workplace and resume writing, job search strategies, and interview practice to enable them to communicate clearly and effectively. In the field settings students practice team-building, managing and tracking project resources, analyzing project performance, preparing technical proposals and reports, and improving their construction project management skills. Students are required to pay an additional field placement fee in the spring of their third year of the program in order to register for the work term course. ACADEMIC ACCREDITATIONS The Bachelor of Technology (Construction Management) degree program is fully accredited by a number of professional associations, including the Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (CIQS) and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB). With the completion of this degree program, graduates will have completed all academic requirements for the Professional Quantity Surveyor (PQS) designation from the Canadian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (CIQS) and for the Member of the Chartered Institute of Building (MCIOB) designation from the Chartered Institute of Building. Memberships in these associations must be applied for separately. Graduates also receive 50 credits toward the Gold Seal certification offered by the Canadian Construction Association (CCA). BECOME A QUALIFIED TEACHER IN TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION Students who have completed all academic requirements up to and including Semester 6 may be eligible to study for a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) in Technological Education at York University. For further information, please contact York University through THE INDUSTRY THE INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL (ICI) CONSTRUCTION SECTOR DRIVES THE SUCCESS OF THE BACHELOR OF TECHNOLOGY CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT DEGREE The introduction of the new Construction Management program at George Brown College is the next stage of development of professionalism in the construction industry. For the first time the industry has its own degree-specific program which brings together the two most important elements identified by leading construction executives the science of construction and the science of management. Temple Harris Vice-Chairman, Gillam Group In order to provide the necessary leadership, we need to staff our projects with construction professionals. Therefore, we believe the fouryear degree program in Construction Management at George Brown College is an important component to ensure our continual requirement for construction professionals will be met. Christopher Rick PCL Constructors, Canada Inc.

2 As the industry expands and continues to change, it is imperative that individuals overseeing and managing construction projects are properly trained in all facets of the business. James Zippel General Manager, Electrical Service & Projects, Ainsworth It is a fact that the construction industry is the largest employer in the Greater Toronto Area. Producing future graduates who already have the necessary construction-specific skills as they start their careers will only help strengthen the long-term success of our industry. Greg Kozicz President, Alberici Constructors, Ltd. In our opinion, there continues to be a real need for improved and advanced education and training in the construction sector and an improved method of attracting and retaining the best and brightest of our future generations. We submit that this program is a significant step in the right direction towards achieving these goals and believe that successful graduates of an effective four-year degree program will help to raise the bar in terms of the knowledge and capabilities of companies involved in the construction industry. Michael George President, Trisura Insurance The urgency for a program of this nature is fuelled by the rapid change in our construction industry and the fact that it is becoming more technology-driven each day. Having graduates of such competency enter the industry with refined skills on both the technical and managerial aspects of construction will not only fill a void that currently exists, but bring immeasurable promise to the future of project managers, site superintendents and construction management in general. Mike Van Volsen Operations Manager, Access Suspended Platforms Inc. PROGRAM STANDARDS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES A degree program must meet a substantial and common set of learning outcomes that are critical to programs within a degree level educational environment. These include: Four Degree Standards, and the knowledge and skills expectations under each of these, as published by the Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board. Learning outcomes in the core subjects/courses which provide exposure to increasingly complex theory at the degree level, and which enable graduates to meet or exceed the requirements of the field of study and/or practice, relevant professional or accrediting bodies, and which are consistent with similar programs in Ontario and other jurisdictions. A breadth requirement that includes coherent and substantive non-core subjects/courses which contribute to the achievement of broader skills and knowledge beyond the core subject area, such as critical thinking and communication skills, knowledge of society and culture, etc. View degree program standards and outcomes 3, by program.

5 I owe a big thank you to the Centre for Construction and Engineering Technologies at George Brown College for giving me the opportunity to interview with so many large construction firms. With the help of the Industry Liaison Office and my professor, I was interviewed by nine construction firms for the field placement semester. By my sixth interview, I already had four job offers. I know that without the relationship between the school and the companies, I would never have had interviews with them. The skills I have learned here and my field placement experience help guarantee my future success. I ve seen it around the city and I can say it myself: George Brown really does get you the job.

Please visit for International students: Visit the International Admissions 6 page for The Construction Engineering Technology program prepared me for the real world by placing me in real-world situations. Neal McGovern (graduate, Construction Engineering Technology) My program at George Brown College has allowed me to become a well-trained contributor to the construction industry. Not only did I gain strong technical skills and develop my critical thinking skills with all of the teamwork, I had great exposure to the industry while working at Eastern Construction during a co-op placement. I feel confident that I am a strong asset to my employer and look forward to a rewarding career. Aristi Lambakis (2008 diploma student, Construction Engineering Technology) While researching a career in construction management, I received many recommendations for George Brown College. Some of the most valuable experiences I ve had at George Brown are not from textbooks but rather from the advice of the instructors on how to conduct myself in the real world, manage my time and organize myself to complete tasks efficiently.
