Kimmel School of Construction Management and Technology

The primary mission of the Kimmel School is to prepare students for professional level careers in construction management, engineering and engineering technology. The faculty is dedicated to providing innovative programs that integrate classroom, laboratory and workplace experience. Faculty bring a strong commitment to teaching and extensive industry and business experience, while the School’s laboratories feature some of the most modern, high tech equipment available at any college or university.

A secondary mission of the Kimmel School is to serve as a resource to the region by extending the knowledge and expertise of its faculty to assist business and industry and support economic development. The School’s Center for Rapid Product Realization and its multi-university-industry partnerships, including the Carolinas MicroOptics Triangle and the Carolinas Photonics Consortium, facilitate this engagement. Classes as well as individual students have the opportunity to become involved in these engagement activities.
