design and construction projects [1]. Many AE graduates areconfronted with these fragmentation problems in real-world construction projects, such as poorcommunication and lack of cooperative consciousness or experience [2]. Compounding this, the problemof fragmentation also exists in the education field that leads to certain consequences and a cyclic educationdeficit problem. Studies from researchers illustrate that most engineering students were taught technicalknowledge via isolated and, thus domain-specific courses with limited to no teaching of integratedapproaches. This limited educational focus causes a lack of knowledge and experience in collaboration forstudents entering the workforce [3]. Moreover, the education model of the AEC

However,different results will likely be reached that open the door to further research to explorethe reasons for the results within the university.The Universidad San Francisco de Quito, a private university located in Quito, wasfounded in 1988 as the first liberal arts university in Latin America, however, it was notuntil 1955 that it obtained official recognition from the Ecuadorian government[18],[27]. According to the QS University Ranking, USFQ is ranked #1 in Ecuador and#60 in Latin America [28]. About six thousand undergraduate students are enrolled eachyear and about five hundred are graduates in the same time frame. The Ecuadorianuniversity has a minority program

Professoriate. MiguelAndr´es’s research includes sustainable infrastructure design and planning, smart and resilient cities, and the development of engineers who not only have strong technical and practical knowledge but the social awareness and agency to address global humanitarian, environmental, and social justice challenges. For him, social justice is a concept that should always be involved in discussions on infrastructure. Related to STEM education, Miguel Andr´es is in developing and applying contemporary pedagogies for STEM courses, teaching empathy studies in engineering as a tool for innovation, and assessing engineering students’ agency to address climate change. Currently, MiguelAndr´es is validating his
