The real-time monitoring ofoccupancy and space utilization further enhanced their understanding of operational efficiency inthe built environment. The primary goal of this project was to foster technical proficiency, criticalthinking, and problem-solving skills through four steps within the experiential learning experience:abstract conceptualization, active experiment, concrete experience, and reflective observation.With direct engagement with advanced tools, student reflections indicated a significant increase inconfidence and motivation to apply these

Self-efficacy plays a crucial role in motivating individuals to engage with andpersist in pursuits related to their careers [13]. Vocational interests reflect the patterns of likes,dislikes, and preferences toward specific career domains, while career choice goals pertain toindividuals' aspirations and intentions to pursue specific career paths [13].

The positive effects of regular evaluations are alsoassociated with students’ ability to organize and apply their knowledge more effectively.In contrast, the use of grades as a sole indicator of academic success has limitations, as they donot always reflect the depth of a student's knowledge or understanding of a subject [43].
