, university programs inconstruction engineering must adapt to meet the current and future job market demands. Theresults will not only identify specific AI competencies deemed vital in the constructionindustry, per the perspectives of the interviewed professionals and experts, but also provideactionable insights into how these skills can be developed and integrated into the industry,enhancing project efficiency and quality. The analysis of semi-structured interviews withindustry experts reveals a labor market that highly values critical reflection, ethical principles,interpersonal and management skills, technical mastery in programming, data analysis,mastery of emerging technologies and construction-related software, English, andcybersecurity

corruption emerge as the underlying factors behind the escalating numberof tragic incidents. This research aims to equip construction students, professionals, andmanagers with a comprehensive understanding of potential causes and preventive measures toprotect lives and property. The findings underscore the importance of prioritizing quality,honesty, standard, safety, and human life in building construction practices. Furthermore, thestudy emphasizes to construction engineering students the implications of disregardingconstruction code of ethics such as integrity, honesty, safety, transparency, competence,accountability, and professionalism.Keywords: Building collapse, quality gap, construction, distressedINTRODUCTIONBuilding collapses pose a

ethics to mobile technology. A multitude of “how to write a teachingcase study” guidelines are available, including in construction education. However, literature thatprovides insights into developing a specific case study in construction engineering andmanagement is scarce. To fill this knowledge gap, this paper presents the dynamics ofdeveloping an educational case study to explore the implementation of target value design(TVD). This case study was developed for engineering and construction management students toformulate, discuss, and decide on strategies, actions, and solutions to provide the best value tothe project owner when implementing TVD. This work-in-progress paper focuses on the pilottest when developing the case study. Pre-class

To obtain data, a convenient sampling approach was employed, and participants wererecruited through various campus classrooms and student events at XXX University (de-identified). The current paper reports on the second phase of the study which was conducted in theFall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters. Participants were first asked to do the Morning EveningQuestionnaire (MEQ) test. The MEQ is a self‐assessment survey developed primarilyfor monitoring respondents for sleep‐related experiments to perform a quick assessment ofcircadian rhythm and sleep rhythm patterns in individuals.

responsibilities and qualifications (n=29)In terms of qualifications, given that these roles seem to interface with internal and externalclients, communication (n=21) is the most demanded skill, followed closely by general computerskills (n=20) and interpersonal skills (n=18). Leadership is required for 12 positions and seem tobe mostly aligned with those that focus clearly on lean and change management. About one thirdof the positions also highlighted the need for sound ethical principles (n=10) and databaseknowledge or management (n=12). Moreover, despite several positions being lean-focused, theknowledge of lean tools is only required by four job postings, suggesting that employersunderstand they might need to train employees for these roles.Innovation
