sets the stage forbeginning their professional careers. Although service learning is relatively common ineducation, few examples were specifically noted in a review of ABET ETAC accreditedconstruction programs. This paper begins with a review of relevant literature to service learningin construction education programs, followed by a description of the two-semester educationalprogram and outcomes we expect students to achieve in the capstone process. At the time ofpublication, four semesters of students have responded to a reflective survey, asking aboutdevelopment of teamwork skills, awareness of the complexity of construction, communityservice, the construction profession, interpersonal skills, construction operations management,and open

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

. However, a seminal work by Hunteret al. states that undergraduate research is “a powerful affective, behavioral, and personaldiscovery experience” that contributes not only to career direction but also to upcomingprofessional development [24]. Thus, a successful integration of undergraduate research into theplanned curricular development and execution will be evaluated and the ensuing results wouldbecome an indicator of potential success in the professional career of the participantsConclusionsThe devastation caused by Hurricane María in the Caribbean and the challenges in the ongoingrecuperation efforts increased awareness regarding the need to educate future architecture,engineering, and construction professionals to design and build

desire to achieve this degree started with working inthe construction industry during my summers off from school. In college, I decided to pursue adegree in finance. I was unsure about what I really wanted to do for the rest of my life, but Iknew that I was interested in the ability to analyze a company’s financial stability. Upongraduation, I knew that I wasn’t passionate enough about finance to make a career of it. I hadworked in the construction industry through three internships and knew that I had an interest inconstruction engineering. Through countless hours of talks with professors and administration, Icame to the decision to pursue a Master of Science in Construction Engineering andManagement. Due to my experience in the industry, there

Our measure of ADB is derived from three survey items (Cronbach's α = 0.901)accounting for 71% of the inter-item variance. One measure of ADB was, “I do not feel like ‘partof the family’ in my academic discipline.” Mean scores for ADB ranged from 2.94 to 3.03 withhigher scores indicating greater levels of belongingness. Similarly, peer interaction (PI) isderived from four survey items (Cronbach's α = 0.856) accounting for 62% of the inter-itemvariance, and mean scores ranged from 3.02 to 3.24. Higher scores indicate increased levels ofPI. PI was measure through items similar to, “I discuss career issues with peers.”AnalysisAfter the creation of factor
