Engaging Engineering Students with the Stakeholders for Infrastructure Planning

et al. 2022

Construction projects should be planned and executed in a way that minimizes the inconvenience to the local community. For that, it is crucial to incorporate public opinion by engaging them in the decision-making process. However, the public is generally involved indirectly in the planning of infrastructure projects through information-sharing reports and meetings, which have not shown to be very effective. This paper presents the findings of a case study as a hands-on experience for graduate engineering students toward engaging the public in the feasibility assessment of a real-world rehabilitation project. The case study involves the application of a simple additive weighting (SAW) multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach to the assessment of various dimensions of the proposed rehabilitation alternatives. As a part of the MCDM framework, public opinion is sought to determine the relative importance of various criteria in making the final decision. The steps and processes of the case study are summarized and proposed in the form of a framework for engaging both students and the community members in the planning of construction projects. The case study and the framework serve as a structured introductory exercise for raising awareness in the students about the impact of public opinion on the planning of construction projects, and the existence of methods that can help them articulate participatory processes. This structured exercise is replicable for future researchers. It is expected that the application of the approach pursued in this study will help promote a culture of accommodating public engagement among engineering students as future engineers in the long term.
