SUSTAINABILITY IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
In the context of the environment, sustainability refers to the judicious use of natural resources to ensure future generations still have substantial access to these resources. The earth and its resources are finite hence the need for humans to utilize these resources in such a manner that they will be around for a very long
Importance of Soft Skills in Engineering Education
For many years, engineering has been seen as a purely technical field of study where the primary focus is towards application of scientific and mathematical principles for designing and developing structures, machines, and systems. As a result of this perception, emphasis is laid on complex technical training alongside specialized knowledge for solving specific engineering problems.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Revolutionizing the Construction Industry
What is AI? What is ML?Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are often used interchangeably, but they are quite different. While AI encompasses a broader field of creating intelligent systems, ML is a subset of AI, focused specifically on algorithms learning from data to make decisions or predictions autonomously. Artificial Intelligence (AI) encompasses the
Achieving Urban Sustainable Cities in Nigeria – Lagos: Exploring the progress of green building standards and certification with Recommendations.
Contributing Author: Josephine Awhobiwom Adah Affiliation: Student Energy Career Training, Cohort 4. Introduction Green building is the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building’s life cycle.
