campus elements contribute to crafting students' learningoutcomes and growth. The initial work of this paper will explore and synthesize researchliterature through critical consciousness lenses to continue illuminating the voices spoken bywomen of Color and making visible their challenges as faculty members. We presenttransformative, multidimensional, and participatory action research (PAR) approaches foracademic institutions to incorporate, encourage, support, and expand women of Colorfaculty. PAR seeks collaboratively to comprehend social issues and action to bring about socialchange. Overall, we identify and summarize existing findings from previous research literaturein which articles were selected relevant to women of Color challenges and

with a seamless trade-off for both visibility ofthe company and transparency of types of career paths offered within the company for similarprojects. Additionally, this allows the faculty member to explore and test a new process andpedagogy for knowledge transfer and course development in real-time, where the coursebecomes a pilot for potential concentrations/specializations or core-curriculum courseworkwithin the program once refined.The future work and extension of this research would be on analyzing the student learningoutcomes of the students enrolled in the course. In addition, 8 of the students have an A grade, 5have a B grade, and 1 has a C on this course. The author would offer the course again withupgraded materials and collect data

to Foster Sustainable, Equitable, and Resilient Infrastructure ConceptsAbstractThis study aims to position active learning as a potential approach for teaching equitableresilience of infrastructure projects through online courses within construction curricula.Exposure to active learning methods can significantly enhance the problem-solving abilities ofconstruction management (CM) students, preparing them for complex technical challenges intheir future careers. Additionally, such interactive teaching strategies can help students retaininformation about advanced and practical concepts. However, in online learning environments,keeping students engaged poses a unique challenge. Unlike in-person classes

The results of the study highlight that personal interestin construction and career opportunities are the most significant factors influencing femalestudents' decisions to major in CEM. Furthermore, the majority of students reported positivelearning experiences during their studies. The findings inform recommendations for CEMprogram recruitment efforts. The recommendations include collaborating with a ProfessionalWomen in Construction chapter to provide prospective students with increased opportunities forengagement within the construction industry. Additionally, enhancing advertising efforts throughsocial media platforms and the internet

remove the neutraldumping ground and require students, faculty, and advisory board members to choose a side.The institutional review board (IRB) approved the study prior to solicitation. An email was sentout to inform each focus group of the survey subject matter, the format, the approximate time tocomplete it, and provided an anonymous link employing Qualtrics. The email also disclosed thatno monetary or financial reward would be gained through participation and that participation wascompletely voluntary. Once published, the surveys remained open for 2 weeks. The goal of thestudy was to identify critical student and program needs for the space in support of an internalLearning Environment Grant and to prioritize improvements based on available

/reduced lunches arelikelier to choose a CTE construction concentration [10]. Once students have self-selected forconstruction careers, additional impediments can be identified. These include the lack ofdiversity in the workforce, which can be evident in a lack of seeing persons who are similar toself [11].As construction managers can vary in education level from high school degree CTE, touniversity and post-graduate degree [12], it is worthwhile to investigate the constructionworkforce from their entry point. A relationship with construction through family, friends, orwork experience can be a predictor for the decision to enter the construction careers [11, 12, 13].Additionally, construction managers come from various degrees, including

providing a tangible representation of materials and structuralconcepts, these models allowed students to interact with physical structures and gain practicalinsight into engineering principles. The use of real materials, including concrete, steel, and wood,provided an authentic experience that allowed students to understand the behavior of materialsunder real-world conditions. The process of developing these scale models involved closecollaboration between faculty members and industry professionals.IntroductionEngineering universities around the world acknowledge the importance of cultivating a foundationfor students to gain practical experience in their careers [1,2].

key," including providing instructions, questions, or requests to an AI model tomeet user requirements.Likewise, as mentioned by interviewee P11: "Construction professionals must havecompetencies such as effective communication because ultimately we are going to receive alot of data and answers from AI, and we have to communicate them to project members."This involves explaining AI technical concepts, presenting data, analyzing results accessibly,clearly, and concisely, and ensuring all project stakeholders understand AI-based decision-making. Effective communication is also crucial for training and adopting new AItechnologies in construction, ensuring teams are well-informed and prepared to use thesetools efficiently.Management of
