Signed-Rank Test to analyze the data. Dataanalysis was conducted using quantitative techniques for survey responses, which includedboth descriptive and comparative analyses. Informed consent was obtained from allparticipants before the administration of the surveys, and the confidentiality of the gatheredinformation was maintained. Privacy was respected, and an ethical protocol consistent withresearch standards was adhered to throughout the study.ResultsIn this study, we used SPSS® to analyze our quantitative data. We applied the WilcoxonSigned-Rank Test to compare scores before and after the Sense of Belonging and Self-efficacy Survey (SBSS). This test is helpful for small sample sizes and compares two relatedsamples or repeated measurements on

requires, students come back to class inspired and driven tocomplete their studies. The graduate, thus, has acquired the necessary work readiness of skills,confidence, and self-efficacy to become a contributing member of the organization in a shortertimeframe [4]. This ease of transition into the career parallels the paradigm shift of employeeslooking beyond pay and wanting “learning opportunities, a sense of belonging and work-lifebalance” [5].Belonging is a fundamental human desire to be part of a group [6]. Studies have shown thatstudents with a higher sense of belonging to their university or major are more likely toovercome challenges and persist in their college studies [7-9]. Walton and Cohen [7] also foundthat a one-hour intervention to

benchmarks. It details an XRframework that can be implemented by CM institutions that follow ACCE accreditation as part oftheir student learning outcomes and program objectives.XR in Construction EducationExtended Reality (XR) technologies, such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), andmixed reality (MR), can provide significant benefits in the field of construction education. Theyhelp improve understanding of AEC subdisciplines, enhance the visualization of complexconcepts, and increase student engagement and self-efficacy [6]. XR is particularly useful forsafety training and risk management, with VR being the most used tool [7]. Integrating deeplearning and XR technologies in construction engineering and management presents
