The research focused on junior-year undergraduate students majoring in aconstruction management program at a public university in Florida, representing a critical pointin their academic progression when they begin engaging with advanced structural concepts. Asshown in Figure 1, the research methodology unfolded across three distinct phases: (1) needsassessment, (2) lab development and implementation, and (3) effectiveness evaluation.The initial needs assessment phase, conducted in Spring 2023, began with an end-of-semestersurvey integrated into
