Construction Science associate professor Matthew Reyes has been invited to serve as an Engineering News-Record Faculty Fellow. This position is part of a collaboration between Engineering New-Record (ENR) and the Associated Schools of Construction.
Through the partnership, all students in construction science and construction management have free digital access to the weekly ENR publication. The team of faculty fellows from construction programs around the country builds a quarterly student edition from the publication.
These curated editions are designed to help students connect the content from their classwork to current practices and upcoming innovations in the design and construction industry. The team then writes reflection questions to accompany each article included in the student editions to facilitate classroom discussions.
The first student edition is currently being prepared and is due in the spring of 2021.
