A Pracademic Research Agenda for Public Infrastructure

Models/Results Public Works Practitioners Need to Know

Willard T. Price

University of the Pacific

Three recent articles inPublic Works Management& Policy (PWMP) have brought new attention to the question of curricula for the public works/infrastructure (PW/IF) profession. This curriculum renewal is truly welcomed by those who have struggled to establish PW academic programs in the past. Previous graduate programs have regularly failed to attract sufficient PW practitioners or engineering graduates to sustain such an academic field. For the past 5 years, the PW profession has been served byPWMP, which has created a new literature from an emerging cadre of academics and practitioners. The journal’s editors believe such scholarship is an essential first step for renewed curricular offerings. This article synthesizes the three curricular initiatives and produces a "pracademic" research agenda to provide substance for PW/IF academic centers of excellence.
