However, the engineering field, similar to all the other fields, is evolving ata very fast pace. Advanced technologies may ease many past technical challenges, but newchallenges always emerge. Today, more than ever before, engineering disciplines not only needstrong technical minds, but also, strong communicators, entrepreneurs, managers and even“sustainabilists”. These contemporary skill demands in engineering fields may attract people withdifferent personality types than traditional engineering.

For instance, in the context of a design course, students were presented with ill-structured, real-world problems such as from Engineers Without Borders. They appliedpreviously learned engineering knowledge to analyze and develop solution for design problemsand presented these solutions in various forms (technical lab report, proposal, and oralpresentations). The authenticity of the problem engaged students to address a specific audiencewith a clear objective in mind, and students viewed the instructor only as a secondary audience.In the absence of such authenticity—a common issue in technical laboratory courses where thesame experiment is typically recycled year after year, albeit with variants—it can

an additional challenge. Teaching computing in architecture, engineering andconstruction (AEC) must focus on more aspects than the use of commercial tools [30]. With thisin mind, it becomes crucial to teach students basic skills that help them to adopt problems andcreate their own solutions based on computer science technologies.Own evaluations show that the acceptance of courses in applied computer science is relativelylow as it is not seen by all as a necessary skill for a civil engineer. Based on this knowledge,existing courses have been scrutinized.
