. Also, they stated that BIM should be taught earlier in their bachelor’s, as the earlier itcan be implemented, the better students can be prepared for their careers. Finally, studentsemphasized the importance of gaining more proficiency in BIM software during theirundergraduate education.ConclusionThis study thoroughly identified solutions that the AEC industries have developed forincorporating BIM in their engineering projects. Also, the study considered the perspective ofsenior students regarding how BIM was delivered during a Senior Design Class and throughouttheir undergraduate education at UA. It is also concluded that the AEC industry is utilizing thistechnology because it was proved that BIM is a solution to transform the traditional
issues. To accomplishthis aim, this study implemented training in a cross-listed sustainable construction class andassessed the students’ knowledge improvement as well as captured students’ change ofperception about how well they can tackle these issues in their future careers. The study'sfindings would help raise awareness of infrastructure inequality and equip the upcomingconstruction workforce with the necessary competencies to ensure an equitable infrastructuresystem.MethodologyThis research introduced the CEC students to equitable infrastructure training to addressinfrastructure inequity issues as demonstrated in the research overview framework in Figure 1.The participating students of this research were enrolled in a Sustainable Approach

In Spring 2022 wecollected 33 EERI responses from senior engineering students, a subset of which we were able topair with responses from their first year to examine changes. Overall, this subset of students didnot show statistically significant changes in their EERI scores between first year and senior year.While the sample size for this cohort is too small from which to draw a reliable conclusion, it doessuggest that the EERI and DIT-2 measurements may be extremely stable over time and that theyare potentially not well-suited to assess changes in student ethical reasoning as a result ofeducational interventions.

In fact, technical communication training has been shown tohave a positive impact on a graduate’s ability to adjust to jobs and achieve career goals [12]. Atechnical communication elective has long been a requirement at top universities, but only afraction require instruction that is integrated within the engineering context [13, 14]. Success hasbeen shown when offering integrated experiences using appropriate tools, and in a diversecontext [15], but inclusion of this type of curriculum is not as common as

Kahn (1990) later conceptualized psychological safety as an individual’s comfort level to show and employ themselves without fear of negative consequences to self-image, status, or career. Edmonson (1999), however, argued that psychological safety is best viewed as an attribute of team climate. Edmonson defines psychological safety as “a belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or

Under their IBL professor's support, undergraduate students can present their work atconferences when they would otherwise never be afforded the opportunity. IBL students canparticipate in applied research at a level usually reserved for graduate students. By beingafforded the ability to take on large projects with complex problems, undergraduates under theIBL structure develop professional skills and have access to experiences well ahead of thoseentering the workforce through traditional educational models.

This introductory course aims to deliver an overview of the engineering profession andmethodology of engineering design. This course invited professional industry engineers withpractical engineering projects to let students obtain qualitative skillsets and mindsets for theirfuture engineering careers. Also, social/economic impact of engineering designs and engineeringethics with several case studies were also discussed.

Communicating with people from different cultures and languages is a valuable skill that can benefit students in many aspects of their lives. Learning how to appreciate and understand different cultures can help avoid misunderstandings and create more meaningful relationships. 2. This can also be applied to learning about different organizational cultures they may find themselves in during their careers. 3. Employability skills are also important for students to develop. Direct interaction with an international client can help students build skills in communication
