construction industry. However, in today’sdynamic landscape, the incorporation of new technologies, sustainability considerations, andevolving managerial demands has increased the complexity of construction projects, bothtechnically and managerially. Consequently, the current construction industry places a premiumon the critical thinking and problem-solving abilities of recent graduates. Regrettably, asobserved in various professional fields, CEM programs have faced challenges in producinggraduates equipped with the necessary problem-solving and critical thinking skills. To addressthis issue, the authors propose the development of a novel senior capstone course using ascenario-based learning approach. The authors’ program is still in the process of

These experiences play a pivotal role inallowing students to work with sensing technologies directly on job sites, gaining hands-onexposure to their applications in real-world settings. Co-ops and internships bridge the gapbetween classroom learning and industry practices, helping students solidify their technical skillsand understand the operational challenges of implementing these tools in construction projects.Finally, in the senior year, the curriculum can shift toward professional and real-worldapplications of sensing technologies.

The construction industry has been naturally dependent onteamwork as almost all construction work is performed in teams. This dependency is reflected inconstruction curricula through some team-based courses such as capstone, surveying or othercollaborative classes. In addition, project-based courses tend to accommodate team-basedactivities. A similar situation may exist in engineering programs; however, engineering coursesare traditionally defined based on an instructor-learner relationship. Therefore, defining team-based educational activities depends on the instructor’s approach. The current study
