’ struggles with courses such as ‘Surveying’ that need advanced quantitative skills.Overwhelmingly, construction students had positive attitudes towards science and mathematics,and agreed that these skills are needed for career success.This study demonstrates the need for curriculum improvements that will strengthen the SL skillsof construction students. Furthermore, contributions add value to knowledge base necessary toadvance construction education research on scientific literacy skill development. Insightsprovided may be used to guide construction curriculum improvement, with increased emphasison quantitative skills for solving real-world problems. Strategies such as tutoring, mathematicslaboratories, and math placement tests could increase

by others [10]. Thereverse belongingness is alienation, social isolation, or rejection, leading to depression in thelong term [11]. Among factors that influence the sense of belonging of women to a major areidentity or being valued [12]; stereotype-free educational environment [13]; formal and informalstudent organizations supporting female students [12]; family, faculty and peer support [7]. Onthe other hand, and specific to the construction industry, many prior studies indicate thatpresence of gender stereotyping, low sense of belonging, lack of support system, and lack offemale role models factor to women opting out of construction-related studies and careers [14],[15], [16].Previous research on sense of belonging found that only when an

resultsindicated that factors such as comprehension of traditional and alternative project deliverymethods as well as construction experience significantly influence student’s inclination towardsmastering skills in alternative technical concepts. 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

existingguidance available to practitioners focuses on planning and execution utilizing a sustainabilityframework such as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) by the U.S. GreenBuilding Council (USGBC). As the demand for sustainability is increasing, universities areoffering courses about construction sustainability to educate future professionals and providehands-on experience to prepare them for their careers. In response to this trend, the USGBCdeveloped a module called LEED Lab, and encouraged its adoption for university constructionsustainability courses. The LEED Lab is used by students to evaluate the existing on-campusbuildings’ sustainability performances. Their evaluation is reviewed by experts for a final LEEDcertification
