History of Construction Group at Stanford (1)
1955: Graduate Program in Construction Engineering & Management (CEM) launched
Many students were returning WWII/Korean War GIs Their tuition was paid by US Government Research funded by US Navy Bureau of Yards &Docks Many national/international industry leaders among alumni

History of Construction Group at Stanford (2)
Late 1990s: Added Design-Construction Integration (DCI) program track
Address need for structurally sophisticated construction engineers Support Design-Build Firms, Design Firms Professor Miranda will discuss in more detail
History of Construction Group at Stanford (3)
2008: Added Sustainable Design & Construction (SDC) program track
Response to CEE Department’s theme of “Engineering for Sustainability”, and Woods Institute for the Environment Develop new kinds of multidisciplinary, technically sophisticated construction engineers Architecture, Infrastructure and Energy courses broaden Structural Engineering-Construction focus of DCI Prepare alumni for career roles as:
project engineers and project managers in “green” engineering and construction firms Developers of buildings and infrastructure sustainability coordinators for “construction buyers” green consultants green tech ventures, green tech investors…

Curricula Rationale
“Project team members must exhibit a broad range of knowledge, expertise and comprehensive project viewpoints. To balance this need for professional breadth and depth and provide for pursuit of individual interests and goals during graduate studies, the CEM, DCI, & SDC curricula are based on a common core of 6 academic areas of emphasis which are weighted to provide a strong academic foundation for practicing CEM, DCI, and SDC professionals.”

The CEM Graduate
Understands the construction engineering and management role and methods
During construction In preconstruction As a connection between design and operations As part of the facility lifecycle in the context of project goals and other disciplines
Knows how to work in a diverse, global team Is familiar with virtual design and construction methods Has a vision for the development of the CEM function
Design Construction Integration (DCI)
Important objectives of the DCI program
• Prepares students for multidisciplinary collaborative teamwork in an integrated design and construction process.
• Prepares students that understand the cost, schedule and performance consequences of their design decisions.
• Prepares construction managers that understand the design process, as well as concerns and constrains of designers to enable them to add value to the project.
The SDC Graduate
Preparation for employment as… Green building developer Green infrastructure developer Contractor Building energy consultant Sustainability coordinator Facility life cycle manager Green entrepreneur
