Protocol 4: Understanding Adoption of Sustainability Best Practices

Description: _x000D_ The five protocols presented in this module provide a structured approach to engage students in the process of becoming reflective practitioners while obtaining useful data about current practice in industry. Excerpt from this protocol: This next protocol will investigate the experiences and reasons behind your company's experiences with best practices that it has tried. Your work on this protocol will be based on the findings from Survey #3, where you performed an inventory of sustainability best practices employed by your company. For this exercise, select three practices from the last survey that your company presently uses on some or all of its projects or has tried in the past but abandoned. It's important that you choose practices with which your company has had at least some experience, even if it doesn't universally employ these practices on all its projects. If you found that your company had tried one or more practices but abandoned them, we strongly encourage you to choose at least one of these practices to investigate. You can choose any combination of practices from the corporate and project lists of best practices, but you must investigate at least three practices. Concluding guidance to students: As you conduct your interviews on each of your three practices, we encourage you to take photos or collect other information that supports your findings. You can turn this information in when you return to campus in the fall for extra credit. When submitting your information online, please note that we will ask you to complete the same survey three separate times to enter your data. After you enter the data for one practice, click submit and then return to the original survey link to complete the survey subsequent times. Your grade for this assignment will be based on complete entry of information for three different best practices._x000D_
