Sustainability Education in the United States: Analyses of the Curricula Used in Construction Programs
Construction programs in the United States play a vital role in sustainable construction education by producing construction professionals having knowledge related to sustainable construction. The primary objective of this study was to examine baccalaureate curricula for sustainable construction offered by construction programs in the United States. A systematic search of the curricula of construction programs offered by the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) member universities was conducted to identify courses on sustainability or its variants. Results show that one third of the member universities offer individual courses on sustainable construction and there is significant variation in course objective, level the courses are offered and prerequisite for the courses. A matrix comparing the course objectives of the sustainable construction courses presented in this paper clearly indicates the lack of general consensus on the content of the courses and the delivery method.
