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

For instance, urgent restoration of services demand toabridge the projects’ schedule and provide innovative solutions, thus making collaboration andintegration essential for the project’s success. Commonly, the academic preparation of scholarson infrastructure-related disciplines takes place in isolated professional domains, rarely tacklinginterdisciplinary problems and/or learn from the systematic research of previous experiences. InPuerto Rico, the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria has heightened awareness regarding theeducation on infrastructure-related disciplines to provide transdisciplinary solutions to pertinentcomplex challenges.

seem to be a large gap in theknowledge that a finance student has versus what they will be required to know in order to enterinto the construction management field. However, there are many advantages that a financestudent can bring to a construction engineering and management program. Finance students aretaught to think critically and analyze every detail of a company in order to determine its valueboth in the short term and the long term. A construction project is managed much like acompany. By the end of the project, the goal is to build a product on schedule, on budget, and percontract. Finance students are trained to identify how and where profit can be made throughcritical analysis of financial statements. A large portion of the work a

comparison to assessmentresults in a traditional course offering.BackgroundThe study of Construction Engineering involves courses in areas of construction practice such asestimation, scheduling, safety, project management, and plan reading and production. Suchcourses normally involve expenses for students in terms of textbooks, equipment, and software.The expenses for course textbooks and materials can be quite high. These include prices rangingto over $300 for individual textbooks in engineering [1], [2], to $700 per semester [3], toupwards of $1200 a year on average for civil engineering programs [4]. These costs also increaseat an exorbitant rate, with textbook costs estimated to have been increasing 1500%, or nearlythree times the overall rate

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.
