Abstract:

While the importance of sustainability is well recognized by practicing and academic professionals alike, Civil Engineering curricula do not typically offer courses covering or addressing sustainability design principles and assessment methodologies. To bridge this gap, this report discusses the development and pilot testing of a course on “Sustainability Design and Rating Systems” for upper level undergraduate and master level civil engineering graduate students, which was taught at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). The course development was the result of close and productive collaboration between one transportation and one environmental engineering faculty member who team-taught the course pilot in the fall semester 2014. This approach can set an example of the benefits of multidisciplinary course instruction that can foster interaction among traditional civil engineering disciplines for the benefit of students. The pilot course focused on sustainable transportation and livable streets, transportation planning and site design for sustainable transportation, sustainability rating systems for neighborhoods and infrastructure, brownfield/greyfield redevelopment options, and sustainability and ethics. The objective was to educate the future engineering workforce about the basic principles of sustainable design and evaluation methods, in an effort to raise awareness and develop expertise on sustainable design options and their associated benefits.
