skills in the following areasare needed to effectively manage construction projects: teamwork, leadership, communication,conflict management, motivation, and trust building [10] [16].Some of these soft skills are correlated with personality traits in past studies. Using the Big Fivepersonality assessment model, [7] discovered that project managers that had the openness toexperience and conscientiousness traits possess the inborn abilities to be good leaders, do not onlydemonstrate concern for projects but would take corresponding actions to ensure project goals areachieved. [13]’s study compared the personality traits of construction workers using the HEXACOPersonality Model. The study found that field leaders had lower inquisitiveness than
leaders in the specialty contractingsegment to be successful in their job. The competencies of top-performing site supervisors that aidproject success were investigated and information from the study can be used by employers toassess the performance of their workers and help construction companies devise skill developmentinitiatives to enhance the areas of weakness of their employees.LITERATURE REVIEWRecruiting workers with a specific mix of skills in the construction industry has been a challengeover the year. The different factors contributing to this challenge have been identified in previousresearch and literature. The scarcity of skilled people is one of the major causes of the wideningtalent gap.

course(s). The main objective of designing andteaching a hands-on and immersive cost estimating course is to get the students ready from day one, byexposing them to the fundamentals of cost estimating. A review of cost estimating syllabi indicate a lackof consistency or standardization in the content covered. The literature on cost estimating as published inASEE (American Society for Engineering Education) conference papers provide little or no examples ofthe typical cost estimating and bidding process. In addition, there are no samples from ASEE conferencepapers on the scope of work for quantity takeoff (QTO) and pricing assignments, or samples of thequantity takeoff templates, the pricing templates, and the criteria for grading students’ work
