but also to ensurethat these graduates are prepared to be leaders and innovators in emerging STEM fields. A partof this reform depends on the quality of undergraduate engineering education experience. Inaddition to providing strong analytical skills, undergraduate engineering education needs tostrengthen skills that prepare graduates to work within rapidly diversifying STEM fields. Futureinnovators need to be prepared to adapt to modern technology, collaborate with people fromoutside their discipline, and be able to apply their skills to solving new problems.

collaborative workdo make for an integrative student learning experience that is different from other schools.Rapid pace of change, encouraged by technology, has shifted engineering education to be lessdependent on direct memorization of facts and more dependent on integrated skills includingcollaboration, creativity, interdisciplinary understanding, and the ability to communicate to teammembers with diverse backgrounds.4 This conviction about learning is the core of NexusLearning approaches. Applied to engineering education, this approach is transformative toSTEM teaching because, at its pedagogical foundation, is the assumption that students areprofessionals the moment they enter their program and should be challenged accordingly.

BackgroundTo address this gap in engineering education and to further enhance the constructionmanagement program’s educational offerings, the pilot course was developed from theexecutive’s point of view. The main objective was to utilize traditional strategic planningpractices to analyze both organizational and individual career demands. To become successfulexecutives in the future, students need a combination of tough analytical thinking, strategicplanning skills, intuition, grit, and a bit of luck. Students learn to consider masses of ambiguousinformation and plan in a manner that is
