Starting with the pandemic, a needfor digital learning accelerated the research and use of this technology. The physical system wastraditionally a singular physical object or machine. Now the systems have increased in complexityand with the use of modern technology can model intricate systems including social structures,economical systems, biological beings, or engineering physical systems.

Changestoward construction 4.0 are already in place, including the use of more technology in theconstruction industry, which has long been seen as a technology laggard industry. This new realitywill cause changes in companies, business models, and workforce development. Some new roleshave been suggested by previous studies. However, there is a lack of studies to identify recentinformation from industry about those and other new positions. To address this gap, this paperutilizes a qualitative review of job

According to the 2009 report from the National Assessment of Educational Progress[1], the proportion of students who are proficient in Science drops from 32% in 4th grade to 21%in 12th grade, leading to a lesser than desired proportion of students planning to pursue STEMmajors in college. This number further dwindles
