The purpose of this journal is to disseminate practical knowledge and 
research about the Architecture-Engineering-Construction (AEC) Industry
through electronic media. This journal will be distributed over the 
Internet through the World Wide Web. All entries within the journal will be
required to use multimedia technology. Hence, authors and readers will be 
able to convey and acquire knowledge and research results though the use 
of hyper-linked text, audio clips, movie clips, graphics, and interactive 
simulations. 

The journal's table of contents will be divided into: 

- technology transfer, 
- research-in-progress, and 
- case study sections. 

Technology transfer entries will focus on specific solutions to tangible 
problems in the AEC industry. New concepts and technologies that are 
ready to be moved out of the laboratories will constitute the basis for 
these submissions. The research entries will follow the traditional 
format of reporting progress toward breakthroughs and results of research 
initiatives. Case studies will concentrate on real-life scenarios in 
which students will have to apply the concepts already learned in classes 
to develop insight into different feasible solutions.
