TEAMWORK AS A CORE COMPETENCE IN CONSTRUCTION AND ENGINEERING EDUCATION Saeed Rokooei, Raheleh Miralami, George FordAbstract The specialization of careers in various industries has created a multitude of professional networks that demand close collaboration between parties when working toward a common goal. Additionally, the exponential growth of information technology has evolved with the workflows among various entities involved in a project. Therefore, professionals in various construction or engineering positions must work with their peers closely to form teams. As an interpersonal skill set, the ability to work in teams is gaining

Several research studies looked at the use of mixed realitytechnology as well as other tools and methods of delivery and their potential advantages, utilities,challenges, and opportunities in dissemination of construction and engineering content [6], [7],[8]. An important dimension of the construction industry is the close connection to relateddisciplines including architecture and engineering and therefore, the simulation of suchrelationships in construction education was investigated in numerous studies, revealing the valueand significance of interdisciplinary and collaborative leaning environments [9]. However,evaluation of these instructional delivery

engineering and technology education, specifically in the field of ConstructionEngineering, has been relatively limited and its efficacy as a learning and training tool remainsuncertain. To assess the impact of game-based learning on students’ performance, this studyutilizes game-based learning, employing LEGO sets, in teaching construction engineeringstudents. The incorporation of LEGO as a means of enhancing learning activities allows learningby playing. The students engage in collaborative group of two students to construct a single-family home using LEGO sets. The primary objective is to facilitate the practice andenhancement of the main important skills for construction engineers: communication, leadership,analytical, and decision-making skills
