legitimacy among their colleagues and influence the twistedperceptions before arriving at the STEM threshold.Women of Color Faculty As women of Color emerge inspirit through the academic doorway and nestle into facultypositions, it is important to understand the journey. Some challenges women of Color facultyundergo ominously reflect on their days as students. Previous studies outline issues ofinsufficient cultural representation in the curriculum [7], stereotyping, isolation, faltering DEI(diversity, equity, and inclusion) policies and practices, tokenism, and false impressions ofacademic achievement [7]. The splendor of academic potential expeditiously dissipates as theimpenetrable fog of inequity surrounds and persists, overshadowing their

defining the problem, while employing a systematicapproach with diverse tactics and heuristics to navigate complexities. Constantly monitoring andreflecting on their progress, they prioritize accuracy over speed, valuing the right solution over ahasty one. They excel in jotting down ideas and creating visual aids like charts and figures,ensuring an organized problem-solving journey. Flexibility is another hallmark, allowing them toconsider various perspectives and keep options open for innovative solutions. Their systematic,reflective, and adaptable approach makes them invaluable assets in any problem-solving endeavor[28]. Which means every engineer has or develops that skill. In fact, during their studies it isfundamental for the students

The publication review also providesa basis for this paper by means of reflection and evidence and seeks to draw out strategies forother similar programs that wish to examine their facilities, not only in conjunction with studentand faculty satisfaction but also as it supports everyday function and usefulness correlated toteaching and learning. The ultimate goal is to inspire academic programs in any discipline tocarefully analyze and thoughtfully create academic spaces which support program objectives andthe highest level of education at our respective institutions.Ultimately, it is the authors’ intent to discuss this topic within the framework of a pilot studywhich may serve as a template for others to follow as they

avariety of digital tools. Their choices reflect their degree of awareness and understanding ofavailable tools, showcasing whether they are acquainted with a diverse range of technologiesrelevant to the construction industry. On the other hand, assessing students' comfort levels inusing a specific digital tool provides insights into their confidence and self-perceivedcompetence. This subjective measure complements the objective evaluation of their toolselection, offering a holistic view of their digital skill awareness, confidence, and readiness toapply their knowledge.These scenarios were crafted to assess participants' knowledge of digital technologies and theirreadiness to apply them in practical construction scenarios. By presenting authentic
