They learned the problems they will face once they startworking, like the time it takes for the concrete to set and dry, and how the materials, like wood orcardboard (which some groups used, as it was a scale model), can sometimes stick to the concreteand cause delays in the work. The application of practical projects in classes teaches civil engineering students how todeal with problems they will face in the real world. But there were areas that have to be madequestions to measure and see is the spectrum cand get wider on what other areas are involved andhow they can be tested.

in the field. A cornerstone of most undergraduate CEM programs is the seniorcapstone course, traditionally designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application [19]. However, as observed across various professional fields, CEM programshave encountered challenges in producing graduates with the necessary problem-solving andcritical thinking skills required by the modern construction industry [12]. In response to thisissue, there is a growing need to rethink and innovate the structure and content of senior capstonecourses to better align with the evolving needs of the industry. To address this need, the authors’program has proposed the development of a novel senior capstone course using a scenario-basedlearning
