The addition of experienced military personnel to North Carolina infrastructure projects will satisfy a growing demand for organizational and leadership skills in construction engineering trades and project management. As a result, owners, developers, contractors can expect continuous increases in economic efficiency and safety. Long term and with additional funding, this program will also result in a sustainable partnership between CCEE and CED faculty, students, industry representatives, and the military through a regularly offered outreach seminar series managed by NCSU??A???a?sA???a?zA?s Construction Extension services.
