campus elements contribute to crafting students' learningoutcomes and growth. The initial work of this paper will explore and synthesize researchliterature through critical consciousness lenses to continue illuminating the voices spoken bywomen of Color and making visible their challenges as faculty members. We presenttransformative, multidimensional, and participatory action research (PAR) approaches foracademic institutions to incorporate, encourage, support, and expand women of Colorfaculty. PAR seeks collaboratively to comprehend social issues and action to bring about socialchange. Overall, we identify and summarize existing findings from previous research literaturein which articles were selected relevant to women of Color challenges and

communication between design andconstruction teams, potentially leading to better coordination and fewer errors or changes duringconstruction. This has generated a high demand in the market for individuals who possess a strongunderstanding of both design and construction processes. As a result, a construction engineering programcould bridge the gap between design-focused civil engineering degrees and business and management-focused construction management programs [3].
