Additionally, after the VRactivity, the authors conducted an exit survey, obtaining the students’ perception of theactivity. The data obtained from the different surveys and evaluations allowed the authors to(1) develop an ordered probit regression model to understand the influence of several factorssuch as academic level, gender, first-generation and international status; (2) identify themajor deficiencies in CM students' communication and presentation skills; and (3) assess theeffects of VR-based presentation simulations on CM students’ presentation skills.

Bachelor Level Interns: 2010-2017 (Miller 2017)Existing research identified that of the 26 respondent universities, 58% gave course credit of 1 hour ormore (Siddiqi and Ozcan 2004). Oklahoma State University Construction Engineering Technology (CET)program requires two internships of 2 credit hours each, or four credit hours total (Yates 2010). Thesame CET program collects assessment data which includes the hourly rate offered to summer interns.Since 2015, the hourly pay rate appeared to be increasing for interns as shown in Figure 3. Linear andlogarithmic regressions were performed. The logarithmic model matched the overall curve better, whileboth indicate growth into 2020. The linear equation is y = 0.3792x + 15.285, while the

Barak andSacks say more specifically that: Unless BIM is introduced into undergraduate civil engineering curricula in a fundamental way, graduate civil engineers will lack the skills needed to serve a construction industry in which three-dimensional models are the main medium for expression and communication of design intent and the basis for engineering analysis [4].Some of the requirements mentioned above would not be easily met in traditional design-oriented technical civil engineering courses.

Therefore, the data suggest that theperception of workers in evaluating the effectiveness of the provided training is more realistic andthe managers are biased in evaluating the safety training programs that they provide to workers. Inother words, managers believe the provided safety training programs are effective and theyfulfilled their duties, and these are the workers that must be blamed for not being actively engagedin training sessions and exercising the obtained knowledge in practice.The review of the fourth question also reveals a discrepancy in evaluating the frequency of safetytraining meetings.

A textbook is a study material which should be easily available and organized for a specificcourse in a language suitable for the course takers, 5 and it is traditionally considered the
