Because construction is less mature as a research area compared to other areas in civil engineering, limitations on research funding have made the investigation of construction management topics more feasible in comparison to construction engineering topics. Because faculty members are drawn from the pool of Ph.D. students who have primarily researched management topics, there has been a tendency for them to continue emphasis on management topics in both education and research. Other civil engineering disciplines form their research programs around the needs of design codes and standards’ development, and academic participation is high. Similar efforts exist within construction engineering; however, there is less academic participation. It is suggested that greater effort be invested in the improvement of construction process s...}, number={10}, journal={JOURNAL OF CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT-ASCE}, author={Jahren, Charles T. and Johnston, David W.}, year={2011}, month={Oct}, pages={887–894} } @article{johnston_ahluwalia_gwyn_2007, title={Improving the professional engineering licensure process for construction engineers}, volume={133}, DOI={10.1061/(ASCE)0733-9364(2007)133:9(669)}, abstractNote={Professional engineering licensure is important in the career development of engineers who undertake work critical to protecting public health, safety, and welfare. The knowledge and experience of construction engineers has not previously been well represented in professional engineering licensure evaluation. The ASCE-CI Construction Engineering Education Committee identified recognition of construction engineering in the professional engineering licensure process as one of its missions when it was organized in 1995. With the support of the states and the receptiveness of the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES), improvements were gradually achieved in recognition of construction engineering experience by changes in NCEES Model Rules. In 2003, the NCEES Board decided to evaluate modification of the Civil Engineering PE exam to include a Construction Engineering module. The evaluation included a Professional Activities and Knowledge Study (PAKS) of the skills appropriate for ...}, number={9}, journal={Journal of Construction Engineering and Management}, author={Johnston, David and Ahluwalia, N.

It was a part of the practical aspects of many early civil engineering degree programs. As early as the 1920's, specializations in construction engineering were found in a few civil engineering programs, paralleling structural engineering and other areas. However, the gradual need for more specialization than could normally be integrated in the civil engineering degree eventually led to the formation of some construction specialty degree undergraduate programs, particularly after World War II. This paper documents the historical evolution of construction education, promotes construction as a stand-alone professional engineering discipline, provides information for schools that are interested in starting an undergraduate construction engineering and management (CEM) degree program, and discusses the engineering accreditation aspects of the CEM curriculum and the role of the construction industry in the CEM curriculum development.}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Construction Engineering and Management}, author={Abudayyeh, O. and Russell, J. and Johnston, David and Rowings, J.}, year={2000}, pages={169–175} } @article{cutshall_leming_johnston_1999, title={Comparison of strength and construction tolerances in concrete}, volume={96}, DOI={10.14359/685}, abstractNote={Two approaches to the tolerance limit for compressive strength of concrete in reinforced members are compared. One tolerance limit for strength, in use since 1971, is f' sub c - 500 psi (3.4 MPa). Another tolerance, based on 0.90 f' sub c provides a more direct link between design and quality control criteria, consistent with the use of strength reduction factors. The utility of each tolerance was evaluated by comparing the effect of the tolerance on selected structural capacities with the effects of other typical construction tolerances. On this basis, the investigation found that a strength tolerance of 0.90 f' sub c is a more consistent representation of allowable concrete strength variation than f' sub c - 500 psi (3.4 MPa). While this approach is not sufficient by itself, it does indicate that the 0.90 f' sub c criteria is a more rational approach to compressive strength tolerance.}, number={4}, journal={ACI Structural Journal}, author={Cutshall, B.
