Despite these findings, theauthors define lifelong learning narrowly as the ability to seek knowledge when gaps arerecognized and do not connect their findings to an underlying need for effective lifelong learningorientations.Lutz and Paretti [26] have highlighted similar learning challenges faced by graduates as theytransition to the workplace. While engineering jobs focus on technical problems, learning occurswhen graduates adapt to new contexts and align complementary skills (such as communicationand project management) with their workplace.

Current state of the art of theAR use in CM education includes virtual site inspections, simulating construction sites, three-dimensional (3D) construction project visualization, collaborative learning environments, andinteractive training programs. Future research on AR-based CM education should investigate theimpact of AR on students’ performance and knowledge retention; the effectiveness of using ARapplications in a user-friendly environment where all students feel supported and

At the time, only afew states had implemented such requirements, and Information Technology & Informationestimated that computer science courses were offered at only one in ten schools nationwide(Armitage, 2015). The same Arkansas legislation, Act 187, also called for the establishment of astatewide task force to oversee the project and declared the overall lack of graduates withcomputer science skills to be a public emergency (Arkansas State Legislature, 2015).

However, some doctoralstudents go out of their way to gain experience as course instructors. In a survey of engineeringdoctoral students, a subset of the respondents reported being uninterested in working in theprofessoriate, and among that group, a small portion of them were uninterested due to theirperceived lack of ability to teach.

Thegoals of a scoping review include identifying available evidence in a field, clarifying definitionsand key concepts, pinpointing knowledge gaps, and acting as a precursor to a systematic review(Munn et al., 2018), which align closely with the objectives of our project. Consequently, a scopingreview was considered a more suitable methodology for our project given the relatively unexplorednature of our focus, sense of belonging in STEM higher education, and the need for a more refinedfoundational and comprehensive understanding of the subject.
