Over the last few years, there has been considerable growth in incorporating sustainability and green engineering into construction industry development. The need to use resources efficiently while minimizing environmental consequences is becoming increasingly important in the industry; as a result, green engineering content is gaining traction in engineering curricula. assessment is a technique used to determine students’ understanding of what they have learned in class. The outcomes assessment results are part of a feedback loop in which academics are given information to help them improve their teaching and student learning. This paper talks about the different ways students can show what they've learned in the course Environmental Considerations in Construction.
