, 2016) states “understand the basic principles of sustainableconstruction” as one of the 20 Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) for accredited Bachelor ofDegree programs in construction. Therefore, a paradigm shift is necessary to educate students torecognize sustainability as a changing constraint in construction.As construction industry demands for graduates with broader understanding of impact ofconstruction projects on environment and overall quality of life, universities have tried to come upwith innovative ways to teach students with knowledge of sustainability concepts. However, dueto already full construction management curriculum it has been a challenge to equip students withvarious sustainable solutions. One of the solutions to this

to gain inspiration for a future design oras an initial step in revising a prior design for improvement. However, in construction, site andcode constraints make this practice less common, although it can be argued that constructionrenovation projects must fully research and document the existing design before proposingchanges to it. Nonetheless, terminology can become an obstacle in a multidisciplinary setting.Another difference between sectors is in how design methods are applied. At a high level,construction projects tend to be very similar, i.e. in the design of a building, foundations, floors,walls and roofs are all present. However, at a detailed level, construction projects all essentiallyunique, owing to differences in local soil

Integrated Sustainable Construction: A Course in Construction for Students in the U.S.A.AbstractThe construction industry actively adopts the concept of sustainability to minimize the impact onthe environment through accepting sustainable design and construction practices. This growingtrend in sustainable construction requires both new knowledge and new skills for sustainability,in addition to conventional knowledge, such as scheduling, estimating, contracting etc. This is aparadigm change in the construction industry. Construction programs in the U.S.A should offersustainable construction courses in order to teach sustainable knowledge and skills to theirstudents before their entrance into

Traditionally in CEM education, the project-based learning approach hasbeen widely used for CEM courses.Kajewski 32 proposed a PBL course called ‘Professional Studies.’ The course emphasizedstudent-centered and self-directed learning. The course was divided into several units, each unitincluded one problem, and students were forced to solve the problem through research andcollaboration. McIntyre 33 applied the PBL approach into a capstone course to provide studentsreal-world design and construction practices. In addition to these, there have been some attemptsto integrate the PBL approach into CEM education 34

Within this topic, as well as others mentioned so far, the aim is to be able to have a graduate who will develop the common sense to be able to say “this will not work” despite the presence of construction drawings based on civil engineering design indicating to the contrary. In a way, we are after creating a culture that can picture the design basics and do their best to make sure the construction conforms to the specific intentions of the designing engineers. g.

More recently, a leading construction educationalist and established researcher wasquoted to have said: “we teach too much and our students learn too little” 7. As a result,institutional educators and instructors are exploring new innovative ways to engage studentthrough active learning processes 8-10 and methods to enhance knowledge retention 11,12.Construction literature suggests a few solutions that instructors can use to ensure that studentsacquire skill-sets that are required for professional success.
