  • Abstract:
    Midcareer reflections based on work combining computers and construction leave an appreciation for the rapid progress that has taken place in both fields in recent decades. Computers have brought many benefits in helping the industry to meet increasingly complex challenges, but as automation becomes pervasive, greater attention must be focused on the social and economic impacts on construction people. Construction education and research have also become much more computer-oriented, but it may be time to take stock of evolving curriculums and more systematically consider what should be done to meet future industry needs. In general, construction has a strong cadre of young researchers who have become well-grounded in advanced computer technologies and are in a position to continue bringing its benefits to construction practice in the future, but they must stay attuned to the needs of industry.
