About the Concentration
The Lyles School of Civil Engineering is pleased to offer Leadership, Entrepreneurship, and Management Professional Master’s Concentration within the Civil Engineering program. The optional concentration is designed specifically to prepare university graduates for a career in industry and government, or to broaden the prospects of university graduates with careers in progress. It incorporates professional skills and competencies component (management, supervision, leadership, entrepreneurship, etc.). Students are guaranteed an industry/alumni mentor in their second semester.
Instruction is primarily residential, with a maximum of 25% allowed to be completed online. Students in the concentration cannot hold teaching/research assistantships or fellowships.

The concentration includes two components: core courses in management/entrepreneurship/leadership including prescribed professional development seminars, and course options based on the area of specialization in engineering, which are concentrations that include: Architectural, Construction, Environmental, Geomatics, Geotechnical, Hydraulics and Hydrology, Materials, Structural, Transportation and Infrastructure Systems.
