Abstract

This study investigates the outcome of implementing sustainability and resilience into an undergraduate construction management curriculum. Specifically, it examines the student's knowledge and attitudes toward sustainability and resilience before and after they were introduced to such concepts. Students' knowledge of sustainability was significantly improved in the post survey. However, neither students' attitude toward sustainability nor students' knowledge of resilience was significantly improved. The mixed results call for further investigations in both integrating sustainability and resilience and how to measure such concepts in educational settings - a highlighted challenge of such integration. This study provides insights into integrating sustainability and resilience in an undergraduate construction management curriculum to meet growing demands for sustainable construction practice.
