MiguelAndres’s research includes Architectural and Civil Engineering Project Management, Sustainable and Resilient Urban Infrastructure, and the development of engineers who not only have strong technical and practical knowledge but the social awareness and agency to address global humanitarian, environmental, and social justice challenges. For him, social justice is a concept that should always be involved in discussions on infrastructure. Related to STEM education, Miguel Andres develops disruptive pedagogies for STEM courses as a tool for innovation, and assessing engineering students’ agency to address climate change. Currently

expenditures and the number ofprojects due to the Bipartisan infrastructural bill passed in the United States. Onshoringmanufacturing facilities- the movement of factory operations from foreign countries back to theUS, will also increase the demand for construction projects in the country. With the expectedincrease in projects and the aging population of the current workforce, the challenges associatedwith the shortfall in the workforce population could be aggravated. Competition for the best talentsfrom a workforce that seems inadequate to meet up with the current demand is a possible resultanteffect of the projected growth in the industry and individual companies’ needs. The labor shortageand competition to recruit skilled employees may contribute

are increasinglylagging in soft skills due to a number of reasons such as lack of standard definition of ‘softskills’, unclear understanding of expectations related to the use of soft skills in industry, scatteredefforts to reduce this gap and lower emphasis by accreditation bodies, when compared totechnical skills. It was observed that it is challenging to quantify the cultivation of soft skills inthe curricula. Vaz-Serra and Mitcheltree [12] used a survey to collect data of key competenciesrequired from Construction Management graduate students in Australia from the perspectives ofsenior executives and operation heads that have recruitment powers. Through their analysis, topfive traits were identified: communication, resilience and
