These include the lack ofdiversity in the workforce, which can be evident in a lack of seeing persons who are similar toself [11].As construction managers can vary in education level from high school degree CTE, touniversity and post-graduate degree [12], it is worthwhile to investigate the constructionworkforce from their entry point. A relationship with construction through family, friends, orwork experience can be a predictor for the decision to enter the construction careers [11, 12, 13].Additionally, construction managers come from various degrees, including

Mechanical engineering electives are free electives that can be taken in business, public policy, education, and sciences, which allows additional room for innovation in the electives portion of the program. • Personalize the learning experience for students to meet their goals and fill the skills gap

engineering students feel underprepared when going into the workforce, due to a lack ofreal-world application of the college curriculum and the lack of necessary skills to confidentlymake engineering and business decisions [1-3]. Consequently, the transition between college andone’s first job can be difficult for many graduates [4]. This causes many to seek jobs outside ofthe engineering profession altogether; according to one study, only one-third of engineeringgraduates seek jobs in an engineering field [5]. Furthermore, a study by the Carnegie Foundationfound that engineering schools primarily focus on the acquisition of technical knowledge, leavinglittle attention to real-world application or preparing for employment [6].To combat this issue, the
