SPEED Project

Construction Management SPEED (Student Projects for Engineering

Experience & Design) team competes at the Associated Schools of

Construction (ASC) annual student CEM competition in Heavy/Civil,

Commercial and Design-Build. Clarkson students interested in learning the

intricacies of the construction management industry join this project team.

The project provides an excellent opportunity to learn the fundamentals of

planning a construction project, including determining efficient means and

methods, estimating, scheduling, construction and project close out.
