theinclusion of this type of content into their construction courses or programs.IntroductionPrevious research argued that engineering students have a 'culture of disengagement' aboutsocietal issues [1]. Furthermore, recent work on engineering and technology students'perceptions of using new technology suggests an over-focus on technical aspects within thoseprograms, to the detriment of social implications [2].Considering the societal impact of the built environment on the population, this lag seemsunjustified and concerning. Furthermore, history has several examples that indicate the effect ofpoorly functioning construction and infrastructure on the deployment of unsatisfactory servicelevels, high operation and maintenance costs, and unjustified

CONE faculty are presented with the concerns that comeout of the process and task with developing a proposal, which will address issues identified as concerns oritems needing improvement. The Advisory Board as well as SOE Dean reviews the proposal and anyfeedback is incorporated into the proposal. The final version is reviewed and approved by faculty and theprocess is documented and filed in the Programs’ Annual Assessment documentation.

on the learning technology infrastructure for delivering coursework, it became evident thatnot all communities had the same level, specifically rural, economically disadvantaged, and/orminority communities. The concern for rural communities is not unique to the U.S., with manyother countries reporting a similar phenomenon. The research objective of this paper is todetermine if any structural issues limit students graduating from MSI, more specifically fromconstruction programs. The methodology used in this paper includes a robust literature review toassess the state of the learning technology infrastructure at MSI and non-MSI, particularly theconstruction programs. The literature review indicates very little research on MSI as a whole.Based

Indicating these basic features is expected by students for meeting satisfaction withtheir learning environment.Upgrading of learning environments at the university level face various constraints includingavailable budget and space. New buildings and upgrading existing facilities can create a largedisparity in classroom environments. A study conducted by Brewer and Carnes [9] analyzed thepotential impact that a brand-new facility with modern technology and furnishings may have onstudents’ perceived satisfaction with their educational experiences. Student and faculty surveysconcluded the new facility was perceived to have an overall positive impact

This process can be quite time-consumingand may require additional resources, such as hiring qualified instructors or purchasing trainingmaterials. The training program typically covers a range of topics, including drone safety, flightprocedures, emergency protocols, and regulatory compliance. Once the faculty members havecompleted the training and obtained the certifications, they will be well-equipped to operatedrones safely and responsibly while adhering to aviation standards.2. Integration into the existing curriculum:The integration of drone technology into the construction management curriculum would requirea thorough review of the existing courses and the development of new courses that

To bemore precise, students attending schools with natural daylight demonstrated a performanceadvantage ranging from 5 to 14 percent over those in non-daylit schools, depending on whetherone considers short-term or long-term effects. Notably, the research revealed that the label "new"did not guarantee improved performance. Surprisingly, a newly constructed school withoutdaylighting exhibited a negative impact on students' performance [5].Considering the impact of a sustainable campus on the performance of students, faculty, and staff,a survey was conducted

hurdle for faculty. Active learning approachescan mitigate these issues by encouraging active participation from the learners. Active learning,often linked with traditional in-person classes, can be successfully integrated into online or blendedlearning environments through various strategies [3]. These include structured discussions, grouptasks, and nurturing a collaborative environment beneficial to learning. Incorporating activelearning into discussions, assignments, and assessments can support effective student engagementin online or blended courses.Active learning can be defined as the process of "seeking new information, organizing it in a waythat is meaningful, and having the chance to explain to others" [4].

construction industry. However, in today’sdynamic landscape, the incorporation of new technologies, sustainability considerations, andevolving managerial demands has increased the complexity of construction projects, bothtechnically and managerially. Consequently, the current construction industry places a premiumon the critical thinking and problem-solving abilities of recent graduates. Regrettably, asobserved in various professional fields, CEM programs have faced challenges in producinggraduates equipped with the necessary problem-solving and critical thinking skills. To addressthis issue, the authors propose the development of a novel senior capstone course using ascenario-based learning approach. The authors’ program is still in the process of
