Students who focus on construction engineering and management (as well as other interested civil engineering students) will want in depth knowledge of the magnitude, type, details and possible solutions to environmental problems in construction. Such a course needs to focus on pollution prevention more than on traditional environmental remediation techniques. The course objectives could be achieved through the introduction of general methods and tools for pollution prevention, design for environment and industrial ecology, as well as through case studies and class projects. The courses Advanced Techniques for Project Management and Management Principles and Practices for Environmental Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon have used these techniques. The instructors initially has the difficulty of not having enough course material. Parts of various textbook can be used for instruction on general methods and tools and discussion of case studies (Moavenzadeh 1994, Graedel 1995). Text on specific construction design and engineering problems also exists (see, e.g., (FHWA-EPA 1993, DOT 1993, Horvath 1998a, Horvath 1998b)). Examples from environmentally more mature industries (such as the electronics and the automobile sectors) may also be used for illustration of basic concepts and systems approaches.
