Dr. David W. Johnston of the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering at North Carolina State University has been selected as the Edward I. Weisiger Distinguished Professor in Construction Engineering and Management.
“This is a tremendous honor for one of our outstanding faculty members,” said Dr. Louis A. Martin-Vega, dean of the College of Engineering. “We are so grateful to the Weisiger family for their generous and longstanding support of the College.”
Johnston spent eight years working in the construction industry before returning to NC State in 1977 to join the faculty. His teaching and research interests include construction management, construction engineering, infrastructure management and structural construction.
Johnston is a fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the American Concrete Institute. He is an honorary member of the Professional Construction Estimators Association.
The professorship was established in 2003 by Edward I. Weisiger Jr. in honor of his father, Edward I. Weisiger. Both men graduated from NC State with engineering degrees and have been longtime supporters of the College and University.
