In project-based learning, students work on real projects. Most constructionprograms require students to complete capstone projects as the culminating experience to earntheir degrees. Students can learn higher-level cognitive skills through project-based and problem-based learning [8].In recent years, there has been increasing use of technology to foster and support learning.Messner et al. discussed the use of immersive virtual reality in construction education, and theyfound that students have a better understanding of construction projects in

construction professionals deal with adiverse group of professionals in architecture, engineering and construction. In addition, there isan expectation within the construction industry of 18% growth in the use of Design-Builddelivery method over the years of 2018 to 2021 [2]. Design-Build can be considered a morecollaborative delivery method than Design-Bid-Build due to the engagement of contractor anddesigner during the initial development of a project. The rise in use of more collaborativedelivery methods, such as Design-Build, Construction Management at Risk, Integrated ProjectDelivery, as well as previous research [3], [4] indicates the need for improving collaborationfrom an industry perspective.

The Race/Ethnicitygreater trend, however, hasbeen that the White, non-Hispanics students are retained at a higher percentage than the Hispanicstudents.Conclusions and Future WorkThis work-in-progress project has shown that there are a few classes in the pre-constructioncurriculum that are most likely to cause issues with student progression (including Mathematicsand Chemistry). Further, the retention of transfer students was not a significant issue, perhapsbecause these students have already taken some of the courses with the highest DFW rates,although this theory is unconfirmed.
