Fifty Years of Progress in Construction Engineering Research
Publication: Journal of Construction Engineering and Management
Volume 133, Issue 9
Abstract
This paper provides insight into how and why construction has developed as a research based discipline over the past 50 years. The writer presents anecdotal information about certain critical events which played a role in shaping the thrust of construction research in the United States. The acceptance of construction engineering and management as a university level program and discipline is strongly tied to research and the publication of scholarly work.
