This study investigates the level of the construction student's familiarity and interest in sustainability, their attitude toward sustainability, and the factors for bringing student's attitude toward sustainability. To accomplish the main objectives, this study employes a survey instrument created and developed by the authors. This is a descriptive and correlation study using responses from construction students at the Building Construction department at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Virginia. The results of descriptive statistics and multiple regression using SPSS version 16 present the following findings. Construction students perceive that they have a relatively high level of familiarity with sustainable construction and sustainability. Secondly, student's attitude toward sustainability is changed based on several factors such as sustainable construction courses, a professor who is interested in sustainability, their interest in the construction industry, university initiative, and the level of sustainability for student's learning facilities. Finally, the construction student's attitude toward sustainability can be improved by offering sustainable construction courses in construction programs, having professors who teach and research sustainability, and adopting sustainable initiatives at the university level such as campus recycling and various sustainable programs.

The project performances can be measured in terms of meeting the project schedule, budget, and conformance to functional and technical specifications. Numerous studies have been conducted to examine the causes and effects of change orders for both vertical and horizontal construction, respectively. However, these studies mainly focus on a single project type, so this paper examines the impact of change order for cost growth and schedule overruns using four different building types to close the gap in the change order research area. A total of 211 building projects are collected from four building types: healthcare, residential, office, and education. Statistical analyses using ANOVA tests and linear regression models are used to examine the created metric $CO/day on the cost and schedule impacts. The results found that mean $CO/day values were not statistically different among building types, and that the sum of change orders is a statistically significant predictor of $CO/day. The results will help project stakeholders mitigate the negative change orders effects can be a challenge for project managers and researchers alike.

As arising concerns on environment, the social and institutional efforts have been made to establish green building in Korea. Even though the progress until now could not be underestimated, the education and information system of green architecture needs to be reconsidered. The system and the program of USGBC to cultivate green design and construction in the USA could be a good case to be explored. The results of exploration of USGBC programs are followed. First, USGBC is industry-led and consensus driven coalition and has diverse membership including building owners, architects, engineers, general contractors, government agencies and nonprofits. Second, various education programs are developed and provided not only for building industry practitioners but also for general people. Third, LEED Accredited Professionals who have detailed knowledge of LEED project certification requirements and processes are produced to make rating system go on smoothly and spread out. Forth, there are international conference and expo called "Greenbuild" and chapter events to interchange of information on green building industry. Lastly, there are incentives which are earning continuing education credits for other organizations such as AIA for attending a LEED workshop and earning a project one point towards LEED Certification. In view of above results, USGBC and its education program can be a good reference for developing ours on green building in Korea.

The construction projects are larger and more complex, and so the construction accidents are bigger. Recently, the studies for reducing the human errors are researched to decrease the construction accidents. The purpose of this study is to analysis a correlation between the safety education and human errors by construction workers. The results showed that the frequencies of safety education in large sized construction projects are more than these in small sized construction projects. However, all of construction projects conduct lower times of safety education than the regulated times. In addition, it is revealed that the human errors of construction workers in large sized construction projects are being lower in accordance with increasing the safety education times. In small sized construction projects, however, the human errors of construction workers are increasing according to more times of safety education, reversely. This study should help to reduce the accidents in construction projects.

Education in Korean universities is rapidly expanding to online education due to COVID-19. In response to such changes, this study proposed a means of improving the learning management system of Korean universities and analyzed the effects of using the system. The important results of this study are as follows: the learning management system was composed of 'pre-class learning,' 'team activity,' and 'participation learning' to support team-based learning. The effects that the users (instructors, learners) can obtain by adopting team-based learning and using the system were analyzed. The study concludes that for instructors, teaching work may be alleviated. For learners, it was demonstrated that they could more easily access and use data required for their education.
