ACCE Turns 50!
In the early 1970s, colleges and universities began recognizing construction as a distinct discipline, separate from civil engineering or architecture. This recognition led to the establishment of dedicated construction management.
The creation of standalone construction programs paved the way for a focused and comprehensive approach to construction education. A need for program certification or accreditation led to the founding of the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) in 1974.
