Do you want to have an occupation where you get to visit (and show off) your “fruits of work” every time you drive around a town? Do you want to make a big impact in creating the future of the built environment? Would you like to have the option to balance being outdoors with office work? Then a career in construction may be for you!
Construction program graduates are highly sought after in the industry. A degree in construction is determined to be one of the most lucrative investments by several studies.
During this program, you will learn that a career in the construction industry goes beyond a muddy construction site. There are many career paths possible with a degree in Construction that leverage many emerging technologies, project management skills, and provide employment opportunities beyond the field.
This action-packed 2-week summer program will involve hands-on building activities, construction site visits (real as well as through immersive virtual-reality), meetings with industry leaders, and tons of hands-on practice with cutting-edge technology such as drones, laser scanners, 3D printing, Augmented/Virtual Reality, and even robots! You will learn how to use REVIT and other computer software to model a building and take home a 3D print of your own design-build project’s miniature replica as a souvenir. You will also get your very own Georgia Tech Gold hard hat!
