>>> TECHNOLOGY AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT What technology and construction management (TCM) professionals do: Missouri State offers majors in three areas. Construction management: These professionals coordinate the work of those involved in the construction process, including architects, carpenters, electricians, steel workers and others. Job titles include general contractor, project

manager, estimator and building inspector. Facility management: These professionals oversee the operations of buildings such as hospitals, hotels and athletic facilities. Technology management: These professionals are trained to manage both technology and people. They may work in fields such as electronics, robotics and plant management. Possible job titles

include project manager, quality manager, product engineer and production manager.

TCM at Missouri State Our TCM programs have the highest levels of recognition — for example, construction management is accredited by the American Council for Construction Education. Classes are taught by faculty members who have professional experience, so students learn

from people who have actually been on the job. Students can expect experiences such as internships and hands-on projects. Also, Missouri State has relationships with many local contractors, so students have opportunities to see real job sites. In addition, our students enter and win national and international contests. This all builds up to success: Almost 100 percent of our graduates have job offers by graduation day.
