The Future is Built Smarter
The University of Florida is proud to offer the nation’s first Bachelor of Science degree in Industrialized Construction Engineering, preparing the next generation of engineers to design and build smarter, faster, and more sustainable infrastructure through advanced manufacturing, robotics, digital workflows, and data-driven construction systems.
What is Industrialized Construction Engineering?
Industrialized Construction Engineering applies advanced manufacturing principles to building construction, shifting from traditional jobsite methods to precision-engineered, technology-driven processes that enable faster delivery, mass customization, and greater efficiency. It integrates tools such as building information modeling (BIM), digital twins, artificial intelligence, robotics, prefabrication, and real-time construction monitoring to transform how structures are designed, fabricated, and built.
Interdisciplinary & Hands-On Learning
Industrialized Construction Engineering integrates civil engineering, mechanical systems, industrial processes, design, and construction management into a unified and hands-on learning experience unique to UF. Offered jointly by the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering and the College of Design, Construction and Planning, the program combines interdisciplinary instruction, shared facilities, and applied project work that bridges computational tools, fabrication technologies, and real-world construction applications.
Interdisciplinary Learning
Learn through a collaborative environment that brings together engineering, construction, design, and planning perspectives across both colleges.
Digital Workflows & Industry Technology
Explore integrated digital workflows and technologies shaping modern construction through UF’s collaboration with Autodesk.
Full-Scale Construction Printing
Gain hands-on experience with UF’s COBOD BOD3 large-scale 3D construction printer — an advanced platform available at only a handful of universities nationwide.
Demonstration Building
A developing 3D-printed Demonstration Building designed to support experiential learning, applied research, workforce development, and interdisciplinary collaboration through emerging construction technologies.
Program Outcomes & Learning Experience
Through interdisciplinary coursework, hands-on learning environments, and project-based and industry-connected experiences, students develop technical, collaborative, and problem-solving skills aligned with the evolving construction industry.
