A partnership between the CEM program and WisDOT

CMSC logo

The CMSC formed as a partnership between UW-Madison and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to fill a need for collaborative problem solving and implementation in construction engineering and management.

We help local, state, and federal agencies find timely solutions to project development problems, study construction and materials issues and provide tools to help implement new and relevant technologies.
