innearly every discipline of Engineering are represented in MIT’s repository. However, eventherein, there is only one linked example of an open source textbook in the area of ConstructionEngineering (for the topic of project management).Despite this, Construction Engineering is actually an area that is ripe for OER implementation.This is because construction projects are very often carried out, either directly as a builder or,more often, as a client, by governmental agencies. With this being the case, these agencies oftenput forth, for open access, a variety of resources for guidance in the execution of constructionprojects. A short list of some federal agencies from which such resources are available includes: • General Services

barriers than their counterparts, when in higher education programs. Additionally, these students have been shown to have less family influence to develop these soft skills outside their academic settings [16]. That said, and since first-generation students need more training, higher education should focus on fostering such trainings to this student body to support their success in STEM. 5. STEM graduate students are more likely to possess higher communication skills, possibly since graduate students maintain more academic knowledge, experience, and different exposures than undergraduates. Thus, this could indicate that undergraduate programs require reinforcement through additional training specifically in the
