industry. There is a disconnect between the perception/experience providedin their education years and recent graduates' challenges when managing home and work life.The younger generation entering the workforce expects more flexible working practices and ismore mindful of not over-committing themselves and achieving work-life balance [5]. Theperspective of the younger generation leads to engineering employees changing careers oremployees looking for organizations that meet their expectations.The Bureau of Labor Statistics presented in April 2022 that the engineering profession needs togrow by 15 percent to meet increasing demand and replace retiring baby boomers. Employmentin architecture and engineering occupations is projected to grow 6 percent

Inconstruction majors, exams are mostly taken in the traditional way, that is, individually,with limited time and without the help of notes or didactic material; this being the case inexams at all academic levels [3] Stress occurs not only when students do not remember aconcept or are insecure about their knowledge, but also when students have the knowledgebut a state of concern is triggered that prevents correct reasoning and application of theknowledge acquired [4].The traditional exam evaluation method is applied within engineering and architecturemajors throughout university life and throughout the world [5], even

[14] proposed that it is the obligation ofengineering leadership educators to consider that our role extends beyond the transmission oftechnical knowledge and that it is our responsibility to help engineering students develop agrowth mindset and discover the sophistication of mind to celebrate diversity, equity, andinclusion in their daily lives, school, and workplace

. This approach seeks to equipfuture construction engineers with the practical skills necessary for success in their careers and tomeet the industry's demands effectively.IntroductionEducation plays a pivotal role in teaching planning. A well-structured teaching method not onlyfacilitates knowledge transfer but also encourages students to challenge their preconceptions andmotivates them to learn [1]. When it comes to engineering education, there are unique peculiaritiesdue to the specific competencies required in this field. Engineering education is characterized bya distinct design in most curriculums [2]. The aim is to cultivate interdisciplinary-minded andhighly talented practitioners possessing innovative thinking and problem-solving

. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024AbstractRationally, a well-constructed building is anticipated to serve as a haven of comfort, shieldingindividuals from various fears and stressors. A structure deemed standard should possess theresilience to withstand the test of time, contingent upon the absence of any quality gaps in itsconstruction. Adherence to the lean six-sigma methodology and other safety and ethicalstandards in the construction stage is imperative for ensuring durability. Unfortunately, this idealscenario is not universally evident, particularly in certain countries. Nigeria, for example,grapples with a disconcerting surge in building collapses, accompanied by tales of grief and loss.In spite of the growth in Nigeria's real
