This is a relatively easy way of raising the environmental consciousness of future construction engineers. As most civil engineering students take at least one construction engineering and management course in their curriculum, when a specific topic is discussed in the course, the instructor could devote extra time to including notions of the environmental impacts of construction activities, and the possible mitigation of these impacts. For example, a discussion of formwork design should include the life-cycle costs of utilizing reusable formwork, contrasted to the costs of disposing of formwork at the end of its useful life. A few books (AIA 1997, CIRIA 1994, CIRIA 1995, CIRIA 1995a) a number of journal articles (from ENR, Civil Engineering, etc.; see, e.g, (Bossink 1996)), and a few videos (e.g., about the Three Gorges dam in China, by the Discovery Channel) are particularly useful in these exercises. Objectives of such modules are to provide at least some education about the environmental impacts of construction activities, and encourage environmentally more optimal solutions than the current practice. Such practice is already observed in the introductory civil engineering classes at Carnegie Mellon University.
