Therefore, learning about these unconscious biases is critical sinceindividuals can make the most effective decisions, from acknowledging a great idea to building aworkforce and workplace that supports and encourages diversity. Social sustainability is anecessary tool, especially in the construction industry, to address unconscious biases that wouldimprove workers' occupational health and safety, increase training opportunities to employeesfor their professional development, increase access to fresh drinking water, ensure job security,and maintain diversity [4].

Project team formation andfunctioning was no problem. The whole group was egalitarian: Each batch would have beenpicked by the computer mainly to avoid scheduling conflicts (with some limited 'bidding' by thestudents to opt for a certain hour), and hence rarely did soul mates make up a team. Once projectteams were formed the members swapped cell phone numbers and made arrangements on whenand where to meet to discuss and carry out their projects.
