Although from an economic perspective, PPE might appear to be non-consequential, forconstruction, the additional PPE is an additional cost. More importantly, the difficulty in findingwork that was identified is quite essential. This finding indicates that internships during times ofeconomic change, whether sudden or due to an ongoing recession, affect students. Additionalresearch is required to determine if all recessions affect internships, as they are often required aspart of graduation requirements.References[1] Barr, A., Turner, S.E. and Danziger, S.(2013).

Although theintegration of ATC for contract delivery may address the shortcomings of different projectdelivery methods, it is not widely promoted, and many construction stakeholders are completelyunaware of such concepts. Therefore, the integration of such concepts in the constructionmanagement curriculum may extensively improve project delivery with the greatest potential forwide acceptance of this method in the future.References[1] A.

rung may become a knowledge disaster waiting to happen. Thehierarchical progressive structure promotes integrated curricula that collectivelycontribute to student learning outcomes. Prerequisite knowledge provides students witha strong foundation on which to build on and connect to upper-level courses. Theresearch by Efimba and Smith [3] explored the problem of unreadiness and the need tostrengthen students’ prerequisite knowledge. The research posits that studentunreadiness may result from the following reasons.1. Taking a course out of sequence and, therefore, do not have the prerequisites.2. Performed poorly or just barely passed the prerequisite course(s).3. Performed well but have forgotten most of what they learned in the
