Simulation Trainings. Toanalyze students’ presentation skills improvement through the VR-activity, the authorsconducted peer evaluations for pre and post-activity presentations. Additionally, after the VRactivity, the authors conducted an exit survey, obtaining the students’ perception of theactivity. The data obtained from the different surveys and evaluations allowed the authors to(1) develop an ordered probit regression model to understand the influence of several factorssuch as academic level, gender, first-generation and international status; (2) identify themajor deficiencies in CM students' communication and presentation skills; and (3) assess theeffects of VR-based presentation simulations on CM students’ presentation skills.

adventuresas opposed to directly teaching the students [17], [18]. One example of an information seekingbehavior could be a simple unassessed icebreaker activity at the beginning of a course where thestudents to share information about themselves while gathering information from their peers[19]. A second example is discussion boards. These are assessed collaborative activities whereeach student posts an answer to a specific question and is required to respond to other students’answers. The class discussion boards can flourish without the instructor’s guiding dialogue as thestudents engage in asynchronous threads [20], [21]. The keys are to include shared responsibility,require constructive feedback, and inspire expansive questioning. A third example

yearrecertification, to ensure the building continues to perform successfully [2]. LEED Lab, created in 2014, works within the LEED for Buildings Operations andMaintenance (LEED O+M: Existing Buildings) rating system to provide higher educationstudents the opportunity to work towards the goal of certifying a building. Knowledge of LEEDis beneficial to students, but actual experience in certifying a building as LEED will set thesestudents ahead of their peers as the enter the workforce. In the course, students assessed theperformance of existing facilities on campus and choose one building where they will facilitatethe LEED for Building Operations and Maintenance (LEED O+M) certification process. As ofFall 2016, there are two compliance paths for

EngineeringDivision has historically hosted round-table discussions on topics relevant to the division membership,so it was only appropriate to have a discussion that would focus on effects of the pandemic so that ourmembers could learn from each other. Although the sessions were open to all ASEE members, weanticipated this roundtable to be an intimate discussion specific to the construction engineeringdiscipline. It turned out that 196 ASEE members from at least 18 Divisions and representing 122institutions attended, providing a broad perspective on the topic.LITERATURE REVIEWAs the meeting was held shortly after schools moved to online learning, there was very little in the wayof peer reviewed research on this topic. However, our participants shared

their hands feel when they touch hot vs. cold items (such as stainless steel pot).  Have students draw or write about how their hands feel when in contact with a hot surface vs. in contact with a cold surface.  Discuss with students how the heat from a hot surface is transferred to their hands when their hands are in contact with such surface.  Explain how some materials let heat through more easily than others. These are called good ‘conductors’ of heat. The heat travels or ‘conducts’ through the material. The glass should have felt the hottest because it is the best conductor of heat. Insulation materials, such as polystyrene felt the coolest, because it is a poor conductor of heat.Convection

. Conventionalconstruction pedagogical methods put students in a passive role, especially when solvingpredictable construction problems with simplistic and anticipated solutions [3]. In general, mostSTEM coursework are heavily skewed towards writing deliverables, which ultimately hindersactive engagement [4]. Thus, a paradigm shift in pedagogical methods such as integrativelearning is required in CM programs to prepare minority CM students with the skills andknowledge to interface with the unstructured challenging environment of the constructionindustry. An integrative learning pedagogical methodology is a potential innovative method thathas been found to be effective in other disciplines, such as the medical field; specifically toprepare students through inter and
