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

transition for Black students in engineering and that they do not have continuity at thegraduate level with regards to identifying counterspaces. This leaves students to have to identifynew spaces in real time while adjusting to the new demands of graduate school. Additionally,there is a salient theme of mental health and wellness being an area of concern for Black studentsin engineering. While counterspaces provide avenues for Black students to express their wellnessconcerns there is an opportunity for institutions to rise to the call as well. These issues will befurther explored in future work of the larger study.References[1] B. L. Yoder, "Engineering by the Numbers," American Society for Engineering Education, pp. 11-47, 2018.[2] C.D.H.

Findings from the Summit discussion oninternational learning experiences imply that to provide a student with a high quality, meaningfulinternational engineering experience, the following is suggested:First, by interacting with a new environment, students can increase their understanding ofdifferent cultures and practice communication in cross-cultural settings.
