value of exerting effort. Construction Management faculty can supportstudents’ motivational beliefs and academic achievement through the use of instructionalpractices that remind students about the important role that effort plays in success [37].There are three main cognitive motivational theories: goal theory, expectancy value theory, andattribution theory that apply to students.In goal theory, motivation is induced by the discrepancy between their current condition asstudents and their future condition (i.e., goal) of being a practicing professional. Self-efficacy, orone’s ability to succeed in a specific situation, plays a significant role in goal theory. A student’sgoals should be challenging but not be perceived as beyond their capability

Through surveys and informal discussions, students agreed that to betterprepare them for their preferred roles, undergraduate construction programs should endeavor toallocate more resources to enhancing the following: course availability and variety; challengingprojects; hands-on activities, innovative teaching methods, well-designed mentoring programs,collaboration with industry partners, internships, field trips, workshops, residential constructionknowledge and experiences, and extracurricular activities. Findings from this study provideinsights that may be used to guide curriculum development, student advisement, and betterpreparation

Astin et al (2000) describes a longitudinal study of over22,000 undergraduate students in the United States and found that the most important factorsassociated with a positive service learning experience are the student’s degree of interest in thesubject matter, how the experience enhances the understanding of academic course materials,and if the service is viewed as a learning experience. Moreover, service learning is a corecomponent of many honors colleges housed in both public

External influences through causal links result in changes in behaviorand capacity of participants [8][9]. Conceptually, career identity formation is congruent to thepersonal identity development processes in human beings with some identities remaining stablethroughout life, while others are more dynamic and change [10]. There is a long-held belief

The effect of undergraduates involved inadvancing research in a Hispanic institution was evinced in the literature [20]. In this enrichingenvironment, college students became main authors and co-authors of numerous peer-reviewedpublications [21]-[22]. By involving undergraduates through critical thinking in a highlyfocused problem-solving project, this project seeks to develop a cadre of not only creativescholars but also socially- and environmentally-conscious ones [23].Professional development assessment cannot be implemented for partaking undergraduates untilpostgraduation, which falls beyond the scope of this work

One example included students earningpoints through accomplishing tasks that required the students to learn specific course objectives.The more points earned, the higher the student’s rank in the class. Students were observedattempting to discover and create additional ways to earn points, beyond the course objectives, towin the game inside and outside of class. These were actions that never had an opportunity tomaterialize in previous years. Although qualitative in nature, the study also showed that the useof games yielded higher scores on the final exams and assignments.Herrmann, Gregory, Miller, and Powney at Mississippi State University performed a qualitativestudy on IPD collaboration between mixed

incorporating newtechnology during educating young minds cannot be ignored. Due to the limitations of computersand handheld screens, namely storage issues, non-user-friendly interfaces, etc., more advancedtechnical equipment are gradually becoming a part of K-12 and undergraduate education [1]. Newwearable devices (Google Cardboard, Microsoft HoloLens, Oculus headsets, etc.) have introducedAugmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) into classrooms globally. While this technologyis mostly used in safety and training modules in CM [2], studies have begun to look into the effectsof AR and VR in CM education, often through virtual interaction like ‘creating’ or ‘building’elements of project sites [3], or also through interaction and collaborative

For this reason,this research seeks to integrate an objective communication activity in CM curricula thatmake up for this gap. This research has proven to advance CM students’ formalcommunication skills by creating an engaging educational environment through VirtualReality (VR) presentation simulations. An initial benchmark survey was administered to 327STEM students at a minority serving institution, to understand the impact of students’ socio-demographics on their presentation skills. Then, a pilot study was offered to 60 CM students,in which they were required to participate in VR Presentation

date, STEM students in general are offered conventional engineeringeducation that depend on ineffective techniques, tiring introductory courses, and timewornpedagogies. Research studies indicate that a shift to innovative pedagogical techniques such asproblem-based learning (PBL), flipped classrooms and vertical integration are recommended toengage learners as well as actively develop their professional skills. This research implemented apilot integrative learning approach, which couples PBL and vertical integration to successfullyprepare minority CM students to thrive in their careers. Through this approach, three courseswith different educational levels and instructional forms were connected by developing a sharedproject that addressed

All of these components must be negotiatedin the complex building process. The General Contractor assumes this responsibility and appliesexperience and best practices to achieve success. Safety being a major threat to this success, thisstudy will tunnel down into these best practices and approach them through the lens of fallprevention safety training, adult learning principles, worker’s motivation and competitiveness,and the application of augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR

Thus, these kinds of projects pose manyenvironmental and social repercussions over the sustainability of the built environment.Sustainable design aims to improve the built environment’s performance through a suite ofeconomic, social, and environmental aspects, or as it is usually called: “The Triple Bottom Line”(TBL) [8]. Since most of the natural resources are finite and community development hasconsequences that affect the TBL, the construction of infrastructures should not only be robust,but it must also be sustainable [9].

The faceof the industry is changing rapidly with the introduction of new technologies in the form of newmaterials, construction techniques, and contractual relationships.For an academic program to survive and prosper in the current and future environments, it has toadapt to change, and in many cases lead that change. From the author’s experience and exposureto different academic programs, the quality of an academic program can be gauged through aquadrangle of elements, referred to in this paper by the acronym CAPE, which stands for: - Curriculum, which answers the question” What is to be taught?” - Assessment, which answers
