Abstract

The construction industry is changing based on external forces and changes in the workforce. Responding to these changes requires a professional with a new set of skills and knowledge. In an effort to identify these skills and knowledge, the National Science Foundation sponsored a workshop where industry and academic professionals gathered to define the Construction Engineering Professional of 2020 (CEP 2020) and call for organized action toward investigating education and research issues within the CEP 2020 domain. This paper details the results of that meeting and the introduction of the Integrator model as the foundation for the CEP 2020 professional. Barriers and opportunities for this model are introduced together with its potential impact on the education and research communities.
