Abstract: \nInfrastructure projects are designed and built by engineers to meet human needs. The sustainable design of new infrastructure and the sustainable redesign of existing infrastructure is an important issue in both the architectural design process and in education. Thus, engineers with their knowledge, decisions, experience and way of working can play a key role in this. In order for future engineers to acquire the necessary knowledge to design sustainable infrastructure projects, both engineering students and professionals should be educated. This paper examines the current situation regarding sustainability of the built environment in Greece through questionnaires addressed to civil and architectural engineers and suggests educational measures that can be taken to instill sustainability in engineers and to push them to design and construct sustainable projects.\n
