Toward New Curricula for Public Works Managers

National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration

On September 10, 2000, the American Public Works Association convened a curriculum summit meeting of academic and public works leaders to discuss the development of newcurricula to prepare civil infrastructure managers for the challenges of the future. The meeting was prompted by concerns that the next generation of public works professionals is not getting training that is responsive to a new generation of needs and that public works professionals are starting to be passed over in appointments to leadership positions in today’s public works departments. The articles published in this issue primarily formed the basis for discussion at that meeting. They focus on the dramatic developments in civil engineering, public administration, and related fields that chart a new course for public works education and propose a range of promising educational and training approaches for the field, inviting new levels of academic and practitioner collaboration.
