Robert L Peurifoy (1902-1995), after serving as principal specialist in engineering education for the US Office of Education during World War II, began teaching construction engineering at Texas A & M University in 1946. In the years that followed, Peurifoy led the transformation of the study of construction engineering into an academic discipline.
