industry's nominal value added was 4.1 percent of the GDP andis projected to reach a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 5 percent from 2022-2026 [1]. Thisprojection of industry growth exacerbates the ongoing crisis of the current workforce shortage inthe U.S. construction industry. As the Millennial generation continues to enter the workforcewhile the Baby Boomers generation is approaching retirement, there is a growing concern thattraditional engineering and construction education systems do not prepare students for variousworkforce challenges, and the workforce demand will not be met in a timely manner. BabyBoomers are the generation born between 1946 and 1964 that are currently in management andleadership positions. Baby Boomers' generation stands

inengineering, construction, and architecture, is well known for producing 2D drawings, but alsoallows designing and visualizing objects in 3D (Zakaria et al., 2012).Most engineering and construction programs teach AutoCAD for 2D drawings in introductorycourses and offer courses in 3D visualization in upper-level classes (Hao et al., 2016; Otey etal., 2019; Oyebode et al., 2015; Anneberg et al., 1997). However, the students enrolled inengineering and construction programs often possess mixed entry skills in engineering andconstruction drawing. Some students may be experts in the subject due to their exposure to itduring their secondary school education, while others may find it entirely new for them. Thisdisparity in knowledge and experience creates a
