Construction Management & Engineering
• focuses on the need to acquire better insights into the
mechanisms governing innovation in the building
process and its environment.
• research program concentrates on the management
and governance mechanisms of construction
processes, the interfaces between planning and
design, and design and realisation.
• the program integrates various insights from different
disciplines: technology, public and business
management, and design (management), and the
development of innovative construction processes
and materials.

Central theoretical focus
Systems engineering
• a requirements driven way of controlling the
design process
• a goal-directed structured and multidisciplinary design process and a coherent
set of design and management principles,
techniques and tool especially for a customer
order driven engineering
Future
Reinforce our focuses
Strengthen our research
 Collaborate with other groups (research / education)
 Demand perspective: architectural design and management
(TUDelft, ADMS?)
 Supply perspective: mass customisation (TUDelft, TU/e?)
 Management perspective: (BBT UTwente, TM TU/e?)
Industrial design departments
