This is important because this shows that students, while theyare interns, bring value to the construction process and are able to apply their skills in a real-world setting.Additionally, this research data shows the significance and how the SLOs and BloomsTaxonomy are related. More specifically towards construction management internships, theinformation provides a guide as to the skillsets that are necessary for students entering into aconstruction management internship.

Although promising, this study is somewhat limited whencompared to the wide scope of the cybersecurity and AI education field.

Hands-on learning is a particular form ofactive learning where students engage in a topic in several different ways including sight, sound,and tactile sensory input [5]-[8]. While engaging multiple senses, students can interact with otherstudents and reflect on how their understanding of some topic can be used to explain a particularphenomenon.
