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

exploited afterthe COVID-19 pandemic, necessitates collaboration. Thus, teamwork skills should be adequatelypracticed in academic programs. 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

contributory courses and tools in the Final ConstructionEngineering Portfolio CourseStudents were given a list of conceptual and technical tools as part of the capstone coursedesign. The students were asked to choose the top five tools they believed would be the mosthelpful for the project, followed by the ones they considered least useful. Table 1 belowprovides a summary of the students' selections. Detailed tables of all responses can be foundin Appendix 2.Table 1.

maintain strong links with the industrial sector and technology companies. This tripartite approach ensures a theoretically solid education and is deeply rooted in current practice and technological innovation. It is recommended to strengthen partnerships between universities, construction companies, and technology firms to keep students up-to-date and prepared for the labor market demands (P10). Therefore, the following is recommended: ● Partnerships with the industry: Establish collaborations with construction companies and organizations to enable students to gain real-world experience and understand the current needs and challenges of the industry. These partnerships can include internships, capstone projects

the two environments. I believe the internship experience has given memore exposure to what goes on at a project, in order for me to better understand the material inthe classroom.”“Yes! Before this I was super nervous for the capstone as I felt I wouldn't be able to contributebut now I feel as I can lead! This internship has not only given me experience but confidence as Ihave a better understanding of how things work. Being able to see things firsthand has beenextremely helpful and I believe it will be a huge help with all my classes.”“Absolutely, the internship significantly better prepared me for continued learning at Texas State.Through practical exposure and hands on experience during the internship, I gained a deeperunderstanding of
