This conference provides a unique venue that brings together a focused group of construction practitioners to enlighten university educators and researchers as to the challenges and opportunities of construction engineering. The goal is to promote opportunities in the area of construction engineering to young faculty and university decision makers; envision a stimulating path forward for this field; identify mutually beneficial interfaces between industry practitioners, construction educators and researchers; and establish a holistic research and education agenda to support the construction engineering needs of the 21st century. Construction engineering is the series of technical activities throughout the project delivery process that influence design, support construction means and methods decisions, create a safe and productive construction environment, and seek to avoid and solve the engineering issues associated with project delivery. The envisioned gathering contains two interlaced parts over a two day period of time:Symposium: To investigate the function of construction engineering as it pertains to various project types (vertical and heavy civil), the issues of equipment and methods, the economics of engineering decisions, and the education of construction engineers (1.5 days); Workshop: to introduce young faculty to the opportunities in construction engineering research and to establish priorities (0.5 days). What makes this conference unique is (1) the future frontier construction engineering topics presented, (2) the interwoven nature of the research component with the symposium portion, and (3) a ?path forward? agenda that will be established with the ASCE Construction Engineering Education Committee. The conference format is set up such that research topics will be generated as a result of discussion between the academics and practitioners during the symposium, including the ASCE Construction Engineering Education Committee who will carry forward a the research agenda. The intellectual merit of this symposium and research workshop involves an understanding of the critical role construction engineering plays in delivering challenging infrastructure projects for improving the sustainability of the built environment. The broader impacts relate to a methodology for developing the next generation of construction engineering educators, researchers, and practitioners. The exposure of young academics to the experience of construction professions will highlight the importance of teaching processes with emphasis on analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of problems more than on deriving a single solution. Wide dissemination of results will be through electronic proceedings and publication of papers in a special issue of the ASCE Journal of Construction Engineering and Management.

本次会议提供了一个独特的场所，汇集了一批重点建设从业人员，以启发大学教育工作者和研究人员的挑战和机遇的建筑工程。 其目标是促进在建筑工程领域的年轻教师和大学决策者的机会;设想一个刺激的道路前进，这一领域;确定行业从业者，建筑教育工作者和研究人员之间的互利接口;并建立一个整体的研究和教育议程，以支持21世纪世纪的建筑工程需求。 建筑工程是整个项目交付过程中的一系列技术活动，影响设计，支持施工手段和方法决策，创造安全和高效的施工环境，并寻求避免和解决与项目交付相关的工程问题。 设想的聚会在两天的时间内包含两个相互交织的部分：研讨会：调查建筑工程的功能，因为它涉及到各种项目类型（垂直和重型土木），设备和方法的问题，工程决策的经济学，以及建筑工程师的教育（1.5天）;研讨会：向年轻教师介绍建筑工程研究的机会，并确定优先事项（0.5天）。 是什么使这次会议独特的是（1）未来前沿建筑工程的主题提出，（2）研究组成部分与研讨会部分的交织性质，和（3）一个？前进的道路？将与ASCE建筑工程教育委员会建立议程。会议的形式是这样设置的，研究主题将产生作为学术界和从业人员之间的讨论结果在研讨会期间，包括ASCE建筑工程教育委员会谁将推进研究议程。 本次研讨会和研究研讨会的知识价值涉及建筑工程在提供具有挑战性的基础设施项目以改善建筑环境的可持续性方面所发挥的关键作用的理解。更广泛的影响涉及到发展下一代建筑工程教育工作者，研究人员和从业人员的方法。 年轻学者接触建筑专业的经验将突出教学过程的重要性，重点是分析，综合和评估问题，而不是得出一个单一的解决方案。 将通过电子会议记录和在ASCE建筑工程和管理杂志特刊上发表论文来广泛传播研究结果。
