The outcome is a more fully integrated young constructionprofessional who is better prepared to plan, communicate, lead, motivate, develop, and leveragehuman relationships for stronger commitment, higher performance, and teamwork.References[1] M.

, sharing they’redesign ideas, gaining feedback from on if the concept developed thus far had hit the “target” of the community issue. Our community partners made two visits to our studio on campus andspent individual time with each student, and then I conducted a group Q&A where we all haddiscussions about the project in general and long-term impacts we were trying to make. Partnersgot to see study models (ex.1g, 1h, 1i, 1j, 1k) each student hand built to explain their conceptsand ideas, and students got firsthand experience of how important a study model can be onprojects where clients are themselves still in the ideation phase of a project

questions (Q), and 3% believed this activity did notimprove any skills. These results indicate a significant growth throughout the implementationof the VR activity, as 97% of the students demonstrate and improvement in their skills. Figure 10. Students’ Perception of Improvement of Skills, N=60Furthermore, 82% of students indicated they would continue to train their presentation skillsthrough the VR Simulations beyond this pilot study. Thus, offering alternative innovativelearning techniques is, in fact, an effective way to develop and nurture students’communication skills.Finally, the students’ feedback about the VR Presentation Simulation Training sessions wereobtained. Based on qualitative analysis, 88% of the students provided
