-credit optional coursethat was offered to both undergraduate and graduate students. The objectives of the course wereto review sustainable materials and practices as well as teach sustainable construction conceptsand methods. Additionally, the course taught the students about sustainability rating systemssuch as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Envision rating system.The course included a training module every semester that covered special sustainability topics.Thus, the Fall 2022 semester had the training module teaching the students about PDMs for SIprojects. Registered students majoring in architecture, engineering, and construction participatedin this study. The survey was distributed to the participants using the

statistically represented the population, thegeneralization of the outcomes is not warranted. A larger sample size including students fromother universities and other research approaches can increase the reliability of the outcome.Further studies may cover factors that impact forming a team, collaboration success, rulesgoverning educational teams, and repeated versus fresh peer effects. Construction andengineering curricula can adopt more team-based activities to further improve collaboration andteamwork skills in students.REFERENCES[1] Constructing Excellence, “Effective Teamwork:A Best Practice Guide for the Construction Industry.” Constructing Excellence, 2004.[2] J.

umbrella term like“construction” or “construction management” [42]. While “building science” does describedegree programs, it does not describe a career path.Given the existence of various areas that could be explored, one of the areas could investigatehow faculty-student rapport and mentoring translate into career success for the students duringtheir lifetimes using a longitudinal research method. Also, studies can be conducted to determinethe best practices from successful MSI across the nation. Future research can also investigate theimpact of alumni success and student mentoring on student career success.References[1] Statti, A. and Torres, K.
