Tony Burke

The document discusses the fragmented and siloed nature of higher education for the built environment. It notes how education has historically followed the fragmented structure of the different professions. However, it argues this narrow, specialized approach does not adequately prepare students for today's integrated construction industry. The document advocates for more interdisciplinary, collaborative education that mirrors modern industry practices. Barriers to reform like professional accreditation and employer preferences are also examined. Overall, the document questions whether current education models sufficiently serve the built environment field.
