Owners–cities, counties, school districts and state agencies like TXDOT–all have a demand for construction science graduates to manage various aspects of the design/build process. Excellent construction positions are also available with developers, consultants, suppliers and vendors. Many college construction graduates go to work for the industry for several years and then establish their own construction businesses.

7. Juvenile Justice The Master of Science degree in Juvenile Justice is designed to prepare graduates to actively participate in the development of knowledge in juvenile justice and develop their skills as practitioners in the system. The curriculum is broad enough to satisfy these various interests. Students should confer with their academic advisor to develop a combination of elective courses that will support their particular career interests

8. Mechanical Engineering Mechanical engineering includes design, analysis, and manufacturing associated with: (1) energy; and (2) structures and motion in mechanical systems. Mechanical Engineers design machines, processes, and systems utilizing mechanical and thermal power. The work of Mechanical Engineers include, but is not limited to, the following areas: machinery design and construction, design and analysis of thermal systems, manufacturing, instrumentation and controls, fluid and solid mechanics, plant engineering, materials specification and evaluation, research and development, and technical sales.
