Abstract
The need for providing formal education and training of construction professionals to meet the
challenges of the construction industry is well recognized. An essential and integral component of
the required formal education must be the research training of undergraduate civil and
construction students to encourage them to pursue advanced education and research careers.
With this in mind, the author developed a funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates
(REU) summer training program for undergraduate civil and construction students that focuses on
construction engineering and management issues and problems. This paper describes the structure
of the REU program and the types of activities undertaken by the REU participants.
