Future Tech: Changing Construction Practices

The Future is Today... New technologies are getting introduced almost every day, and many industry leaders are advocating that we need to apply these emerging technologies to our construction management processes more aggressively, in order to increase the productivity in construction.

What technologies can we use now to improve productivity in the construction industry? As construction educators, how do we teach our students to be leaders of the industry in terms of applying these emerging technologies for productivity improvement?

The Department of Construction Science at Texas A&M University is proud to host the Annual ASC International Conference from April 22nd through 25th in 2015, where you will find an opportunity to discuss these issues with your colleagues from other schools. Additionally, you will have an opportunity to learn about a number of emerging technologies that our keynote speakers and technology providers will bring to the conference. Additionally, the conference will host a number of "workshop sessions" on various topics of interest, on Wednesday, prior to the main event on Thursday.

We are hopeful that you will join us at "Aggieland" in College Station in April 2015 to discuss these challenges together and to expand your network. We are looking forward to greeting you with southern hospitality, while we show you our campus and facilities, and while we endeavor to share with you some insights to the Aggie Sprit.
