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

For these reasons, there is a steep decline in the number of Black and Hispanicstudents graduating with a STEM degree from Baccalaureate institutions [7]. Classroom culture is shown to have a significant impact on the success of Black andHispanic students in higher education and in STEM in particular. Specifically, when Black andHispanic students feel like they have learning and supportive spaces to develop their STEMidentities, they are more likely than their peers who do not have access to such spaces toacademic persist in the STEM field [8].

Community colleges are a vital part of the solution to broadeningparticipation in STEM fields; however, more evidence is needed about the impact of innovative,sustainable models for serving greater numbers of transfer students in high demand disciplines,such as technology, across pathways from community college to university. Knowledge about theimpact of best practices for transfer advising and other supportive interventions is especiallycritical [3].

diversification of faculty as a metric, butinstitutional commitment is best shown by inclusion of commitments in a publicly announced strategicplan. Hiring a diverse faculty may require that methods be employed akin to the approach of blindsymphony auditions [12], for example, anonymous resume reviews. Implicit bias [13] shows up in everysituation where the chance exists, so we need to design our procedures to minimize room for error. It issimply not true that diverse candidates who are superior are rare.
