among construction industrystudents to a) evaluate their experience of natural disasters, b) examine the source of knowledgeof resilience on natural disasters, c) measure knowledge of post-disaster evacuation, and d)evaluate disaster preparation from university education. The study found that the population of thestudent body existed that had not experienced a natural disaster and were unaware of its impactseither on a personal or familial basis. Further, the majority of the responding students felt that theirmajor(s) and universities did not prepare them in terms of handling natural disasters and extremeweather events. Finally, a correlation was found between the location students live and a desire forknowledge about extreme weather events at

did not experience changes during their internships during the summerof 2020. Although from an economic perspective, PPE might appear to be non-consequential, forconstruction, the additional PPE is an additional cost. More importantly, the difficulty in findingwork that was identified is quite essential. This finding indicates that internships during times ofeconomic change, whether sudden or due to an ongoing recession, affect students. Additionalresearch is required to determine if all recessions affect internships, as they are often required aspart of graduation requirements.References[1] Barr, A., Turner, S.E. and Danziger, S.(2013).

provides some information to explain thesituation, generalization of the data needs more study and over a longer period of time. In addition,some confounding factors such as evaluation methods and the skills of the teaching professors shouldbe carefully investigated. The next stages of this study will include the comparison of grades in othercourses taken in the department and outside for both groups. In addition, categorizing the transferringof students based on their previous major may reveal more correlations.ReferencesAustin, A. M., & Gustafson, L. (2006).

contract deliveryeducation.The findings of the study contribute to the existing body of knowledge on contract delivery ofconstruction projects by highlighting the significance of education for the evolution and adoptionof advanced methods in contract delivery of complex infrastructure projects. Although theintegration of ATC for contract delivery may address the shortcomings of different projectdelivery methods, it is not widely promoted, and many construction stakeholders are completelyunaware of such concepts. Therefore, the integration of such concepts in the constructionmanagement curriculum may extensively improve project delivery with the greatest potential forwide acceptance of this method in the future.References[1] A.

In order to facilitate this effort, aqualitative comparison was conducted of the Arch E student performance and the performance ofstudents in other engineering programs in completing a similar task.

completing the semester(s), an instructor should document and communicate with the GBCI to finalize certification. To efficiently and effectively work with the USGBC and GBCI, an instructor is highly recommended to hire a student assistant who is familiar with the entire process of the course and can assist, with supervision, in submitting final project documentation. Having this assistance will ensure the successful completion of the LEED Lab project.Based on the lessons learned from this Sustainable Construction course, other institutions mayconsider adding an adaptation of the LEED Lab module to their sustainability-related or projectmanagement courses and may create a concrete plan to achieve their course objectives
a variety of fields, and the requirements to obtain the desiredposition(s) within these fields also have significant range. Many of the requirements involvelicensing and certifications, whereas many of the higher-up administrative positions requirebachelor and master degrees. The incentive behind this research project was to investigate whyso many construction degree programs at the college and university levels are either closing, orat a minimum not meeting the demand of industry by providing sufficient graduates for thepositions available, and why most high schools in the United States are no longer offeringconstruction type courses.
