“…Recognition of the importance of constructors and their proper role in the overall construction enterprise facilitates progress in sustainable construction (Beyer, dissertation submitted for degree of B.S. ; Emison, 2001; Yue and Au, 2003; Myers, 2005; Riley et al , 2005; Shen et al , 2005). A fair amount of progress has already been made on this front.…”

Concern about the devastating impacts of on-site construction processes on the environment (e.g., consumption of energy and materials, generation of waste and dust, and pollution of air and water) has led to a heightened awareness of the need for sustainable construction practices. Constructors in the construction industry in the US and Korea were surveyed on their level of awareness of sustainable construction measures that could be implemented during the actual construction phase, and on their level of preparedness to implement such measures. The results of the survey indicate a fairly high level of awareness of and preparedness for sustainable construction and a positive outlook for the future of sustainable construction in both countries. The results of this study indicate that constructors should have more responsibilities and get involved at an earlier stage of a construction project -during the design phase -in order to exploit their knowledge.

“…There is an expanding movement to integrate social concerns into engineering systems thinking, design criteria, and problem solving . The current ABET criteria for engineering education require political, social, and ethical topics be included in the set of “realistic constraints” for consideration in engineering design .…”
