Highlights

  • Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education and Practice (JPIEEP)publishes both engineering education and professional practice related papers

  • Issues in Engineering Education and Practice (JPIEEP) by introducing the text-mining-based review methodology, which could be applied in other reviews in the future

  • The text-mining-based review revealed the information regarding: (1) the evolvement of research keywords in engineering education and professional practice; and (2) the most influential papers published in JPIEEP

Summary

Introduction

Publishes both engineering education and professional practice related papers. over the years it has evolved in its scope more towards education (Barry and Roberts, 2016). Consistent to the visualized networks in Figs., the main differences of research focuses among the four time periods are: BIM has replaced safety and other civil engineering practical issues (e.g., water supply) to be the most influential keyword during the recent decade; JPIEEP has become more international by having more published work coming from China; sustainability has become a focus in engineering education and practice; teaching methods have more involved problem-based learning, active learning, and simulation; more studies have stressed diversity and minority (e.g., women). Earlier studies over a decade ago had emphasized nurturing the generation of civil engineering practitioners through specific ways such as industryuniversity partnership (Tener, 1996)
