Construction Technology and Management

The department of construction technology and management was established and started to function independently in (2011 E.C). Before its establishment, the program had started to function under department of Civil Engineeringsince 2010E.C.

The reason behind to launch the program wasthe double digit economic growth and the consecutive rapid expansion of construction industry in Ethiopia which resulted in high demand for having professionals on the field of construction technology and management. The gaps seen in construction engineering, construction management, and construction technology become clear on the execution of construction projects. Inefficiencies in construction projects management, inadequacies in the adoptions of various construction technologies and techniques, etc call for having an integrated profession beyond the design aspect at the all phases of project life cycle (inception, planning, execution etc) have necessitated to open this department.
