Paving the Way for Student Research in Construction Engineering at the Undergraduate Level
Unlike schools of liberal arts and sciences where undergraduate student research is common, there is a limited role of student research in schools of engineering and engineering technology at the undergraduate level. Student research, however, is gaining ground in schools of engineering where faculty are engaged in research and a structure in their curriculum exists whereby students can get credit toward their degree requirement. Programs in civil and environmental engineering across the nation are actively moving in the direction of undergraduate student research but programs in construction engineering and construction technology are not keeping pace with student research at the undergraduate level. This paper presents guidelines for developing a structure in curriculums of construction engineering and construction technology programs to create room for students to do research and present their findings in a variety of forums at the local, state, or national level. Some examples of undergraduate student research are provided to reflect on the current status of undergraduate research in construction engineering and construction technology education.
