Cratsley, Florida Gulf Coast University Mr. Cade M. Cratsley is an undergraduate student pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering at Florida Gulf Coast University. He is a member of the ElectriAI+ Lab, led by Dr. Chau, where he actively contributes to research on the application of artificial intelligence in the construction industry. Beyond his academic endeavors, Cade demonstrates his leadership and organizational skills as a food service manager at Five Guys, showcasing a strong work ethic and a commitment to excellence in both his
responsibilities and qualifications (n=29)In terms of qualifications, given that these roles seem to interface with internal and externalclients, communication (n=21) is the most demanded skill, followed closely by general computerskills (n=20) and interpersonal skills (n=18). Leadership is required for 12 positions and seem tobe mostly aligned with those that focus clearly on lean and change management. About one thirdof the positions also highlighted the need for sound ethical principles (n=10) and databaseknowledge or management (n=12). Moreover, despite several positions being lean-focused, theknowledge of lean tools is only required by four job postings, suggesting that employersunderstand they might need to train employees for these roles.Innovation
colleges/universities.Another benefit is that CTE programs can enhance valuable skills such as work ethics,perseverance, and communication. These valuable skills can lead to an increase in life outcomesfor CTE students [29]. CTE classrooms are a blend of academic and real-world experiences, aswell as hands-on training. These components are essential for success in the labor force post-graduation [30]. The direct learning in the classroom CTE students endure helps strengthen thenon-cognitive skills students will use in any job.Evidence of the success of vocational/ CTE educationThe success of vocational students after joining the workforce is demonstrated in the job growthrate of different occupations in the construction industry. According to the
constraints. The study recognized thatthough public policy is typically taught at the post-graduate level, its incorporation at theundergraduate level has much to gain [6]. Oswald Beiler’s approach was integrating publicpolicy discussions into a required, upper-level civil engineering course [6]. The course addressedthe fundamental concepts of leadership, ethics, and sustainability introduced during earlier years.It elaborated further with the students on how to apply those concepts to more complex policyapplications. For example, students worked on case studies on climate change mitigation andinfrastructure resilience, applying real examples to understand how engineering and policy cometogether. In addition to advancing their technical knowledge
provide a more accurate and supportive measure of student achievement [24],[25], [26].Background/FrameworkAcademic integrity refers to the expectation that all members of the academic community actaccording to universal standards of responsibility, honesty, and sincerity, avoiding unethicalpractices such as plagiarism and cheating [27], [28], [29]. Plagiarism is defined as submittingsomeone else's work without proper citation and is a serious violation of academic ethics [30].Cheating on tests can be caused by multiple factors, including inadequate preparation, workloadoverload, or fear of failure [31]. In many cases, students are not taught values such as honestyand responsibility from the beginning of their education, making them more
