From a design point ofview, it is necessary to clearly define our criteria in order to best achieve the optimal outcome.There is a need for some breadth of education, both technically and in the liberal arts. There isalso a need for some depth in one or more specific technical areas. The catch, of course, is thatstudents must be prepared for such a wide array of possible positions following graduation.The vast majority of engineering graduates enter the workforce directly, so programs shouldlogically be tailored to best meet this need.

Introduction In the past two decades, the extensive research on teaching methods has provided an increasingamount of insight in the most effective active teaching and learning processes1,2. The outcomes ofdifferent studies vary, but a major consensus is that active learning works3: at worst, active learningdoesn’t harm students’ outcomes; at best, it doubles students’ retention4. Consequently, activelearning was incorporated in fields such as STEM,5,6 history and political sciences,7 and business8.Each field, however, focused on different active elements: business school courses are traditionallyknown as mostly case-study based, while engineering courses

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
