The majority of the graduates who take the class go on to workfor mid to large-sized general contractors, whereas a minority of students works for design orengineering firms. Based on this data, the course was structured with relevant software systemsand course assignments to focus on management rather than design. Instead of introducing andtraining the students how to create, the course focuses on how to manage and solve constructionrelated problems utilizing these tools.Another major aspect of this courses successes and failures has

date, STEM students in general are offered conventional engineeringeducation that depend on ineffective techniques, tiring introductory courses, and timewornpedagogies. Research studies indicate that a shift to innovative pedagogical techniques such asproblem-based learning (PBL), flipped classrooms and vertical integration are recommended toengage learners as well as actively develop their professional skills. This research implemented apilot integrative learning approach, which couples PBL and vertical integration to successfullyprepare minority CM students to thrive in their careers. Through this approach, three courseswith different educational levels and instructional forms were connected by developing a sharedproject that addressed

A lot of attention in highereducation is given to the curriculum and faculty and staff expertise, but there are other factors that helpprepare students. In construction education, students often rely on co-op or internships to hone vitalskills. This paper examines what occurred when community-engaged learning components, includingreflection and reciprocity, were emphasized in the co-op experience. By the intentional way theseexperiences are structured, students can further develop essential skills and build social awarenessregarding how their work affects the larger

Moreover, the CM students also reported thatthe integration of such advanced contract delivery methods in CM curriculum will provide anedge in their professional careers. The study demonstrates the feasibility of reforming coreconstruction management curricula to incorporate current practices of the construction industryas well as nurture advanced skills and knowledge, which better prepares and equips our futureworkforces in their professional careers.Keywords: Accelerated Construction, Construction Management

and Foor et al. 2007).Based on no known study of inclusion and diversity when combined with interdisciplinarystudies, a survey was created. The survey seeks to determine if student perception of a sharedspace with other major fields of student was more inclusive. Further, the survey seeks to identifywhether students feel more included when in a smaller group which is defined as their majorcohort. An interesting juxtaposition is the need for interdisciplinary work especially for studentswho will work professionally in teams, while also encouraging a cohort which can result inhigher grades, increased course completion and graduation retention rates (Goldman 2012).For students in architecture, construction and certain engineering careers

In response to this trend, the USGBCdeveloped a module called LEED Lab, and encouraged its adoption for university constructionsustainability courses.

. If individuals mustexpend a great amount of time and effort to accomplish a goal, then they are more likely tochoose an activity that they feel capable of performing successfully and that will lead to a moreattainable valued outcome rather than wasting their time in a self-perceived futile endeavor [37].The expectancy value theory of motivation holds that people engage in activities to accomplishgoals because of the perceived value associated with their likely outcomes. For example, if theinstructional topic is perceived by the student as relevant and valuable in attaining a sought aftergoal, the student will be motivated to perform [13, 31].
