Nile is from Virginia and studying Civil Engineering at GT. He is graduating in December 2016 and knows this certificate is a perfect fit for his professional goals. Nile was already thinking about Construction Management when his professor mentioned this opportunity. "This was very applicable to my professional goals. I knew it would be helpful for my career search. I believe having this on my resume, shows companies my dedication and commitment to Construction Management." Nile added, "The Senior Design class really wrapped it all up, put it together for me. I was able to look at budgets, and see how all the pieces fit together on a project." 

Nile also recommended that more students pursue this certificate. He suggests to other students to begin earlier than he did. Nile waited until his senior year, but thinks future students would benifit from starting the four-course certificate during their junior year. 

The certificate has already paid off for Nile. He will be interning with RaceTrac this summer-in their Construction Group.
