The game’s overall goal is to promote disaster risk awarenessand resilience. Its core is a teamwork exercise around a printed map, where people discuss andrecord information about the territory under study [6]. We

Presented by the United States of America Bureau of Economic Analysis report for thefirst quarter of 2022, the construction industry's nominal value added was 4.1 percent of the GDPand projected to reach a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 5 percent from 2022-2026 [21]. Thisprojection of industry growth exacerbates the ongoing crisis of workforce shortage that currentlyexists in the industry in the United States. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics reportpublished in April 2022, employment in engineering and architecture professionals projected toincrease by 6 percent between 2020 and 2030.

These include the implementation of an “EM workshop” that includesactivities on all 3C’s as well as chances to provide more emphasis on user needs and problem/opportunity identification on design projects [18].

It exploresstudents' learning experiences, attitudes, and challenges in pre-engineering at a publicuniversity in Michigan. College access and success are some of the most pressing issuesconfronting the United States in post-secondary education. This work aims to address andinvestigate the barriers perceived by students while entering pre-engineering, understand theirexperiences during the program and examine pre-engineering through professors' andacademic advisors' lenses.
