No industry is growing like construction. And employers—especially in the metro area—are searching for resourceful, innovative, and forward-thinking students who can design, create, and service the built environment.
Dunwoody’s Construction Sciences & Building Technology department is for those who are interested in making buildings more safe and comfortable. Areas of study include construction management, HVAC, electrical construction, electrical design, power and construction engineering technology, land surveying, and civil engineering technology.
At Dunwoody, students hit the ground running.
Through interdisciplinary projects and shared labs, students throughout all construction programs learn to work together—both at Dunwoody and in the real-world. This collaboration allows students to graduate with not only knowledge of their chosen field, but also a solid awareness of industry trends, best practices, and green and sustainable concepts.
Our instructors come directly from industry. They have real-world experience, hold industry-specific certifications, and are passionate about their field and how the next generation of students can better serve it. And through partnerships with both local and national organizations, our curriculum, tools, equipment, and software are continuously updated.
Thanks to numerous site visits, guest speakers, real-life projects, and internship opportunities, students leave Dunwoody with a robust portfolio, competitive resume, and the skills needed to become an industry leader.
Several Construction Sciences & Building Technology programs provide an online option, including: Construction Management; Electrical Drafting & Estimating, Electrical Construction Design & Management; and Power & Construction Engineering Technology.

Continuing Education Courses
Get the skills you need
With Dunwoody Continuing Education you can enroll in select evening courses without having to apply to the College. This allows you to easily and quickly enhance your technical skills while still being able to take advantage of Dunwoody’s project-based, learn-by-doing educational approach.
Note: since classes are taken for credit, they can later be applied to a Dunwoody degree or certificate.
Non-Matric Registration Form
More Information
