The challenge to come, they say, is the future of construction and energy practices. And these students, ingrained with problem-solving skills, are using politics to find solutions. Their cause? Sustainability. And students are organizing at the university and national level [] to fight for green building and renewable energy to be instated on their campuses.

Teachers. McAninch, Jahren sponsored class. When he graduates this year, Nels Overgaard, a 22-year-old student at Iowa State University, plans to start up his own construction business. “He’s an entrepreneur,” says Charles T. Jahren, a professor in charge of the school’s construction engineering program. One of Overgaard’s last chances to prepare for the competitive work ahead was a new class that Ames-based Iowa State offered this spring on digital earthmoving. “Everybody knows that GPS is out there, but they don’t always know how it works,” he says. The new project controls are changing the lives of surveyors, engineers and contractors
