Despite this industry preference, higher education institutions,which traditionally prepare graduate students, are not equipping Ph.D. engineering students totransition to the workforce. Therefore, to better prepare our engineering graduate students, we muststart by understanding the current state of Ph.D. professional

In this paper, we report the data collected and analyzed in two semesters ofa junior-level software engineering course where undergraduate students were working in agileteams to deliver 4 major working increments per semester (62 students developed Eclipse plug-ins in one semester and 103 students developed Android apps in the other). In both semesters, wefound that not only were our students’ perceived top-ranked risks remarkably different fromwhat were previously published (including the industry-surveyed checklists in the 1990s and2000s, as well as the ones collected from a graduate-level course), but the risk managementstrategies adopted by our students were

The study concluded that the most importantstep toward resolution of this issue would be getting the construction industry to acknowledgethe incidence of this problem in current methods of communication. Changes in education arealso advocated as highly desirable, even if they will inevitably require a period of time beforethey are assimilated and begin to impact the construction industry.There has been a number of successful recent efforts aimed at integrating these two disciplines ineducation.

This is particularly important in thecontext of an integrative subject, which can be effectively applied in the Final ConstructionEngineering Portfolio Course.In this approach, the teacher acts not only as an information transmitter but as a mediator,facilitating active knowledge construction through collaborative interaction between teachersand students [11,13]. Considering the study by Okere and Giroux [14] in the specific workfield of construction engineering, it establishes that the case study methodology canpositively impact the training of future engineers, as it exposes them to situations required bythe industry.
