Ancient, Current, and Future Construction Technologies
Program Description
Students studying construction management in the U.S. only learn based on U.S. systems. This study abroad experience will broaden the learning experience by showcasing techniques and challenges found in Italy. These include enhanced safety techniques, modular construction, off-site construction, historical renovation, unforeseen conditions, and many more. Additionally, the value of learning about great constructors and projects from the past have an impact on future construction projects. Italy is one of the premier places in the world to see so many historical construction projects in close proximity.
