construction professionals deal with adiverse group of professionals in architecture, engineering and construction. In addition, there isan expectation within the construction industry of 18% growth in the use of Design-Builddelivery method over the years of 2018 to 2021 [2]. Design-Build can be considered a morecollaborative delivery method than Design-Bid-Build due to the engagement of contractor anddesigner during the initial development of a project. The rise in use of more collaborativedelivery methods, such as Design-Build, Construction Management at Risk, Integrated ProjectDelivery, as well as previous research [3], [4] indicates the need for improving collaborationfrom an industry perspective. Additionally, construction programs are aware of

Learning the logic of Construction Management and managing itsaccompanying risks at the undergraduate level is very difficult because of lack of fieldexperience. Teaching construction scheduling to students requires detailed and comprehensivelearning of the methods and procedures involved in construction along with the impacts of riskand uncertainty on the methods and processes
