The International Journal of Construction Education and Research is a respected international refereed journal that publishes original works that address cutting edge issues related to construction around the globe.  The Journal supports the mission of the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC), a professional association comprised of about 130 universities and colleges.  The ASC encourages the sharing of ideas and knowledge and promotes excellence in curricula, teaching, research and service relating to the construction industry.

The Journal recognizes scholarly work in the areas of construction education and construction research by preserving and disseminating research (both quantitative and qualitative) and other original manuscripts that contribute to the understanding of issues and topics associated with construction education and the construction industry.  While research manuscripts are encouraged, another aim of the Journal is to embrace those manuscripts that may be outside of traditional research formats.  Naturally, problem statements, literature reviews, methodologies and analyses, resulting in some unique position, insight, or contribution are required of all submissions.

 The scope of the Journal embraces pedagogical and industry content through a broad spectrum of construction-related topics including but not limited to methods, materials, estimating, contracts and construction law, labor issues, productivity, project management, scheduling, simulation, computers in construction, construction equipment, safety, information technology, business practice, management, case studies, automation, robotics, environment, sustainability, international construction, alternative energy, mechanical systems, electrical systems, specialty construction, subcontracting, design-build, alternative delivery methods, and dispute resolution.  On occasion, special submissions may be solicited on a specific and relevant topic.

The International Journal of Construction Education and Research replaces the Journal of Construction Education which was founded in 1996 and was also hosted by the ASC's Board of Directors. Dr. Ken Williamson of Texas A&M University served as editor and publisher of the Journal of Construction Education for all but the final two issues.

The International Journal of Construction Education and Research was begun in 2004 and is hosted by the Board of Directors of the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC).  In August of 2005, the ASC signed an agreement with the publisher Taylor and Francis and the first print issue of the Journal was published in April of 2006.
