PUBLICATIONS
Delve into the world of construction education and research with ASC’s comprehensive collection of conference proceedings, journals, and educational resources.
CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
The ASC Annual International Conference provides opportunities for faculty members from Construction Management programs and industry practitioners join together to discuss up-to-date curricula, best teaching practices, current management models in the construction industry, present research findings, to learn from each other, and to hear from industry and related professionals. The conference is held annually and is hosted by an ASC hosting university. For each conference an International Proceedings is disseminated that enhances and improves teaching and learning processes within construction education and construction practice. Papers submitted to the Annual Proceedings contribute to the understanding of the issues, problems, and research associated with the construction industry and construction education.
The Annual Proceedings provides for the reporting of research, which communicates new knowledge about phenomena, whether it is qualitative or quantitative. The scope of the Annual Proceedings embraces works in education and industry content through a broad spectrum of topics in the built environment including but not limited to:
- Teaching / Pedagogy, and Administration
- New and Current Technologies in Construction
- Contracting, Project Delivery, and Legal Issues
- Project Management and Controls
- Construction Workforce and Organizational Management
- Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Materials
- Health, Safety, and Quality Management
- Sustainability and Energy Efficiency in the Built Environment
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CONSTRUCTION EDUCATION AND RESEARCH
The International Journal of Construction Education and Research is a respected international refereed journal that publishes original works addressing cutting edge, global issues in construction. The journal recognizes scholarly work in the areas of construction education and construction research by preserving and disseminating research (both quantitative and qualitative). The journal seeks original manuscripts that contribute to the understanding of issues and topics associated with construction education and the construction industry. The scope of the journal embraces pedagogical and industry content through a broad spectrum of construction-related topics including but not limited to:
- Materials and methods
- Estimating
- Contracts, construction law, and dispute resolution
- Labour, equipment, and productivity
- Workforce development
- Project management
- Alternative delivery methods
- Building and information technology
- Automation and robotics
- Mechanical and electrical systems
- Sustainability
- Planning, decision-making, and risk assessment
- Specialty subcontracting
- Scheduling
- International construction and globalisation
- Procurement and project logistics
- Case studies
While research manuscripts are encouraged, another aim of the Journal is to embrace those manuscripts that may be outside of traditional research formats. Naturally, problem statements, literature reviews, and methodologies and analyses resulting in contributions to the existing body of knowledge are required of all submissions. On occasion, special submissions may be solicited on a specific and relevant topic.
