Constructing You

I am Shreshth Mangla, and I come from the city of New Delhi, India. During my education, I have gained a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and MBA in Technology Management from a renowned institute in Mumbai named NMIMS. I am currently pursuing master's degree in construction management at Michigan State University.

In all these years of my education, I have had multiple opportunities to be a part of some international teams, where I have been an active member of the ASCE Civil Engineering conference in 2017, and various such organizations helping women empowerment and social causes. In all this while, I realized a need of a much broader exposure to global education space, and my need to understand the management aspect in construction, which made me choose to pursue my master's in construction Management from the United States. It has been a great experience so far. From learning how to manage multiple projects and juggling my day to day activities of completing course work, and household chores. This has shaped me to become a holistic personality of managing multiple things at a time. During this past summer of 2022, I had an internship in Project Management in a construction company, where I learned how to manage site labor and logistics and the importance of documentation of activities, on top of that I was also preparing a graduate practicum with a professor in my department. After the summer ended, I got another internship opportunity with one of the largest suppliers of energy in Michigan, DTE Energy as a construction management intern where I am assisting project managers. With so many tasks at hand, I have understood to manage my day and timeline of activity scheduled.

Moreover, I am also serving as a Vice President of Graduate Student Association of Construction at the School of Planning Design and Construction, which has opened gateways in thinking deeply and interact with industry leaders to conduct workshops and events for the students of Construction Management. I have gained certifications as a LEED Professional and an Associate Constructor in my education here at MSU. I take pride in telling this that I am also a part of Sigma Lambda Chi which is the Construction Management Honor Society that inducts members based on exemplary academic performance.
