Department Chair and Professor, Department of Construction Management
Dr. Rebecca Mirsky became a member of the faculty of Boise State University in 1997 with a Ph.D. in Civil/Environmental Engineering from the University of Tennessee. She is also a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Idaho, and a LEED Accredited Professional. As an environmental engineer with over 20 years of experience in the construction industry, her professional interests involve the environmental aspects of construction activities. Chief among those interests are high performance or ‘green’ construction methods and materials, both in commercial/industrial and residential applications. Dr. Mirsky believes these will become increasingly important in the future, not only for environmental reasons, but also for their economic and social implications. Her other specific interests are reduction and recycling of construction waste; erosion control and stormwater management; dust and noise control; and sustainable land use planning. In 2012, Dr. Mirsky completed the training and exam to achieve provisional credentialing by the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI), an interim and transitional step toward full credentialing as an Envision sustainability professional.
