/responsibilities between parties, what is important info, what is important to clients, andindentified best practice resources. These subjects are focused on providing a baseline forstudents to understand the relative importance of information management to the overallconstruction process. In the multitasking environment that students currently operate,identifying the relative importance of different information subjects is important for careersuccess. By giving the students practical examples when and where each type of informationmanagement can be used to structure and focus project information, a disciplined approach tomaintaining communication can be reinforced.The subjects of production management, design-build construction, and leadership in

≠ Lowering ecosystem impact caused by construction activities.To achieve the above benefits, it is very important that every stake holder on a constructionproject including designers, engineers, project managers, superintendents, project engineers, andskilled and unskilled laborers have knowledge and skills of sustainable design strategies andtechnologies. Therefore, it is necessary to educate and change construction stakeholders’attitudes toward sustainability.Higher education for construction and architecture students is an ideal mechanism for changingthe paradigm and practices because the students become the leaders in the construction industry[4, 9, 10 & 11].
