Nowadays, climate change and environmental deterioration are perceived as the most significant global challenges for Europe and the world. Therefore, it is necessary to develop appropriate strategies for a resource-efficient economy in order to adequately address the sustainability challenge. This is the background to the 'European Green Deal' (Fetting 2020), of the European Commission, which set out the roadmap for a sustainable EU economy, in which climate problems and environmental challenges are turned into opportunities and, without neglecting people and places, economic growth is separated from resource use. In this context, the strategic goal for Europe is to achieve zero climate impact for a number of countries in Europe by 2050 (IPCC 2022). This is the reason why it becomes extremely necessary to strengthen and improve professional skills in many areas of civil, building and environmental engineering. With reference to the experience carried out at the University of Florence, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, in designing two new undergraduate curricula in “Environmental engineering” and “Civil and Building engineering for sustainability”, the implementation of multidisciplinary laboratories in the education path is discussed here. Multdisciplinary laboratories, focusing on disciplines that concern the development of an engineering career, allow the acquisition of know-how skills through the development of real projects covering different fields of Civil and Environmental engineering (e.g. green or seismic- resistant buildings design, stabilization of slope areas towards hydrogeological risks, etc.). Moreover, multidisciplinary laboratories can contribute to provide engineering study programs with a more relevant social-education component and with a greater focus on skills. Greater flexibility for students in the composition of their curricula, greater attention to multidisciplinary learning, increased students’ awareness of the impact of technologies on the socio-economic context, and greater attention to the acquisition of soft-skills, are also fostered. Multidisciplinary preparation is essential for responding to the needs expressed by the labour market and by a multiplicity of stakeholders and higher education. Multidisciplinary laboratories are all located at the second and, mostly, at the third year of the study plan of both the two new undergraduate curricula, and they are focused on the most characterizing topics of the Degree Course and teachings with integrative and specific in-depth characteristics. Some laboratories are more focused on specific aspects of the environmental engineering (e.g., the Environmental Management Systems and Quality Management Laboratory, the Renewable Energy Laboratory, the Multi-risk Analysis Laboratory, the Natural and Anthropic Hazard Mitigation Laboratory) and other are focused on the main aspects related to civil and building engineering design with a specific attention to sustainability ( e.g. the Building Process Digitization Laboratory, the Sustainable Structures Design Laboratory, the Sustainable Infrastructures Design Laboratory, the Sustainable Buildings Design Laboratory and the Sustainable Construction Management Laboratory).

The importance of integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in the curriculum of all the bachelor and master degrees at UPC has been legally and institutionally recognised. At the Barcelona School of Civil Engineering, issues such as professional ethics, environmental impacts of infrastructures, respect for cultural diversity and gender perspective are currently cross-cutting competences highlighted and stated in the study plans as a transversal competence on Sustainability and Social Commitment (S&SC). However, its effective implementation requires significant teaching efforts in order to adapt academic curricula, so far limited to individual non- coordinated initiatives. The launch of the “ODS-Camins Toolkit” project (Toolkit for the Promotion of SDG in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Fields) seeks to encourage the implementation of teaching innovation practices that contribute to the deployment and assessment of S&CS competences. The aim of the project is to exchange experiences, develop new practices, and draft a common pathway for the promotion and implementation of the SDGs in the field of civil and environmental engineering studies. The paper will explain the experience of this one-year project, highlighting barriers, challenges, and sharing the lessons learned with the final purpose of involving all the community in the years to come. It will also present the Toolkit for the Promotion of SDGs in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Fields

The ISCEE2024, our 5th International Symposium on Civil and Environmental Engineering was held successfully on 18th and 19th September 2024 at Hotel Adya, Langkawi, Malaysia.

Sustainability is a concept born from the global movement toward better management of resources. A 1987 United Nations World Congress document ~called the Brundtland Report! defined sustainability as ‘‘management of resources such that current generations are able to meet their needs without affecting the ability of future generations to meet their needs.’’ This definition of sustainability has led experts in many disciplines—technical and social—to call for an increased concern for environmental and resource management within their fields. However, practical interpretations of this definition are still largely missing. These interpretations are mostly being advanced by academic researchers and have yet to be incorporated into corporate and governmental structures. Indeed, leaders in engineering, chemistry, economics, and philosophy have translated this concept of sustainability into a call for action. The field of civil and environmental engineering, while not a primary player in the sustainability movement, has not been idle. The ASCE Committee on Sustainability was formed in 2001 and includes a cross section of ASCE’s membership profile. For the past 2 years, there has been one session at the ASCE National Conference on the topic of sustainability in civil engineering, including discussions on the role of sustainability in civil and environmental engineering education. The 2003 ASCE Construction Research Congress had two sessions on sustainability, and more are planned for the 2005 meeting. The May 2004 ASCE Structures Congress included one session on economic and environmental life-cycle assessment. These efforts are a good professional starting point, but should not be seen as sufficient to enable the levels of change needed. The National Science Foundation—a primary source of funding for engineering research in the United States—has been supportive of sustainable engineering projects, including the Division of Civil and Mechanical Systems in the Engineering Directorate. Programs from the U.S. Department of Energy and the EPA have also been supportive of this area over the past decade. Current national environmental priorities are not necessarily in line with global sustainability goals. For example, United States policy is currently dubious of the implications and causes of global climate change from greenhouse gas emissions and atmospheric concentrations. The United States is not a player in the official global Kyoto Protocol implementation to reduce emissions to below 1990 levels. This could have the undesirable side effect of undermining our leadership positions in global environmental management, as well as in the development of environmental control technologies. Europe and Asia are poised to take over these leadership positions without further American efforts

7th International Conference on Civil and Environmental Engineering for Sustainability 9 - 10 October 2023 Impiana KLCC Hotel, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia https://intl-conference.com/iconcees2023 Faculty of Civil Engineering and Built Environment Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia Introduction The 7th International Conference on Civil and Environmental Engineering for Sustainability (IConCEES 2023) was held on the 9th and 10th of October 2023 at Impiana KLCC Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. This conference was held for the seventh time since 2009.

This 7th IConCEES 2023 is an ideal platform to share current ideas and findings on topics related to civil and environmental engineering. The fields of civil and environmental engineering have long stood as pillars in the evolution of societies. But as the planet grapples with unprecedented challenges, from climate change to urban sprawl, it has become abundantly clear that engineering solutions must be broader, deeper, and more interdisciplinary than ever before. IConCEES2023 is not just a conference; it’s a testament to global commitment to sustainable development. “Engineering A Better Future” is more than a slogan. It embodies the collective responsibility and the pressing need for innovation. It reminds that the blueprints, designs, and structures are not just for the present but are footprints for the generations to come. This conference aims to encourage all prominent scientists and researchers as well as industrial players together in one place so that can share and exchange ideas, knowledge, and expertise, widen networking among each other, and promote new technology towards a sustainable future. The two days conference was transcend borders and bridge disciplines. The topics that merge the technical, ethical, practical and visionary. From sustainable urban planning to eco-friendly construction materials, water resource management to renewable energy integration; the conference was showcase the amalgamation of expertise from different spheres, all with a singular goal. Namely, a sustainable tomorrow. This conference was conducted physically and virtually with 53 and 46 participants present physically and virtually, respectively. We used a conventional presentation set, such as a laptop and LCD projector, during the physical presentation. For the virtual presentation, we used the Microsoft Teams platform. The hybrid conference was held due to travel restrictions from several countries.

After producing statistics illustrating the width of the divide, the authors point out that those on the wrong side of the gap are not only cut off from the benefits of science and technology but also deprived of the opportunity to learn about and perhaps pursue a career in science or engineering. It is argued that if some of these individuals could be brought into the field of civil and environmental engineering, the workforce shortages expected in the coming years could be avoided. An additional benefit to the field would be an increase in diversity, which could pay dividends in the area of creativity. Steps that could be taken by civil and environmental engineers and by local ASCE groups to bridge the divide are outlined.
