What is the difference between engineering management and construction management?

I'm currently an undergraduate student studying Civil Engineering, with a focus on structural engineering. I'd like to seek a master's degree in the area of management, while staying close to my career interests which are in the areas of designing structures and overseeing their construction process.



Can someone please tell me the difference between engineering management and construction management? In your opinion, which is most rewarding?What is the difference between engineering management and construction management?
The difference is the type of project they handle.



Both are focused in the business side of engineering. Budgeting, planning, etc.



Constructions management is mainly focused in construction. Engineering management is more general and can be applied to projects in other fields of engineering (e.g. design a machine, a circuit board, an engine, etc.)What is the difference between engineering management and construction management?
From what I understand, construction management is doing the estimating/bidding/scheduling (design-build and design-big-build project delivery methods), while the engineering management side acts as more of a project manager and a consultant to the owner (project-management delivery method).



If you want you can google the three methods and kinda get an idea of what the project/engineer manager takes over and accomplishes. It could however just be the subtle difference where engineering mgmt is very general, while the construction management has a sharper focus on the heavy construction and industrial work.What is the difference between engineering management and construction management?
An engineering manager manages engineers, a construction manager manages a construction site.
