of collaborative design and construction experiences [18]. Theseprevious initiatives have identified benefits to the collaborative approach related to relevance ofprofession, increased project success, improved communication, and better awareness of theAEC disciplines.Despite the benefits, attempts to implement and maintain cross-disciplinary collaborationoftentimes falls short due to barriers related to communication, cultural divide, work ethic,course structure, and differing academic motivations [6, 10-12, 14-17]. Studies have indicatedlonger rather than shorter learning experiences are necessary to achieve the intended success ofcross-disciplinary approaches [12, 19]. Implementing such invasive approaches may not be anoption for many

during their undergraduate degree,it might be easy to assume they would not be fit to enter into the construction management field.Employers do not typically require high levels of job understanding when hiring students out ofcollege. They look for work ethic and a foundation of basic skills required to carry out entry-level duties that fit within the bounds of their employment. College students, upon leaving theiruniversity, are not immediately ready to perform every aspect of their job. They need trainingand time to develop skills. Finance students might not be able to act as a field engineer, but theirskills with money management, forecasting, and analytics make them extremely valuable office-level engineers. Finance majors are capable of a

fundamental computational methods and elementary analytical techniques in sub-disciplines related to construction engineering. In addition, graduates of baccalaureate degree programs will, to the extent required to meet the Program Educational Objectives: (e) produce and utilize design, construction, and operations documents; (f) perform economic analyses and cost estimates related to design, construction, and maintenance of systems associated with construction engineering; (g) select appropriate construction materials and practices; (h) apply appropriate principles of construction management, law, and ethics, and; (i) perform standard analysis and design in at least one sub-discipline related to construction engineering.I have taught

increase thequantity and quality of construction graduates towards a more competent and diverse workforcefor the development of 21st century built environments.Professional identity is a combination of professional (roles, decisions, ethics) and personalselves (values, morals, perceptions) [7]. Professional identity development (PID) in students is adynamic process as a novice student compares new inputs from training and professionalassociations with previous views; and upon, various levels of internalizations, the professionalidentity may be accepted or rejected [7][8]). PID in students involve students’ beliefs of theirown performance / competence, interests in the profession, and feelings of recognition bysignificant others. It is the
