Abstract
The special issue of the Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, to be published in September, 2007, includes a historical review of several topics and issues discussed in it and provides an outlook of the potential of construction engineering. All the papers included in the special issue of the journal are invited papers that were invited from two groups of prospective authors. Some of the invited papers are from from reputed professionals, who have been identified from specific areas of research, practice, or dedicated to the profession of construction. These professionals have contributed significantly to improving construction engineering, research, and presented new ideas through papers published in the journal. All the prospective authors were encouraged to submit overview-type papers that may be of interest to a large section of readers of the journal.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
