However, it is unknown if construction students recognize a relationship betweenweather events and the construction industry. Further, the level of resilience education offered tostudents enrolled in the construction curriculum across the US is unknown. There is evidence thatresilience education is imperative but is lacking globally [12], [13]. There are limitations in thearea of available research capabilities in societal resilience [14].
