Students can also apply for PriorLearning Assessment (PLA) credits for experience such as other workforce certifications, workexperience, or military training.

Data analysis for the open-ended questions was guided by the theoreticalframework - Social Cognitive Career Theory [1] that explores how context, person factors andsocial cognitions contribute to career goals, interests and actions. A phenomenological approach[2] was conducted to understand the experience of these students. Open coding and axial coding[2] methods were used to create initial categories then themes related to students' concerns andchallenges. Data from the two-item scale was evaluated using descriptive statistics: means,standard deviations, and ranges.Four main themes with separate sub-categories emerged from the student responses: 1

areconsidered.The literature depicts growing yet still limited understanding of the role of empathy inengineering education [1, 15, 16]. This literature suggests empathy can be developed throughhuman-centered design thinking [1], and empathic design is characterized as the mostcomprehensive form of human-centered design [9]. While interactions with stakeholders arecritical in developing empathy, students still tend to narrowly scope design problems, ignore theheterogeneity of the stakeholders, and focus on only mainstream or very few individuals withspecific needs [9].Measuring empathy: A situative approachVarious instruments have been developed and utilized to assess empathy. As such, weconsidered varied definitions of empathy and characterizations of it

explicitlynaming it. Additionally, since biases are built through repeated exposure to negative messages,replacing those negative associations with positive ones is essential to counteract theunconscious biases. Another strategy is that participants can also be encouraged to assess howtheir own identities and experiences influence their interaction to counter unconscious biases andcultural stereotypes. Furthermore, regular evaluation and analysis of survey data, particularly onhow students from diverse backgrounds feel within the institution, allows the institution toensure that unconscious bias training and promotion of cultural competency. Moreover, it cancontribute to long-term positive change in academia. Overall, integration of such strategieswould

Interestingly, faculty reported more concerns and administrators were extremelyoptimistic [21].Due to the increasing demands for education and budgetary constraints for many universities, onlineeducation has been steadily increasing. The push towards online education received some resistance inengineering and engineering technology mainly because laboratory experience is required for studentsin most engineering and engineering technology courses. While some educators were concerned aboutthe limitations of online education, the hybrid format became popular [19, 20]. Despite the

construction-related programs in the United States – the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) and the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) do not require acapstone course in accredited programs. However, several learning outcomes of ABET andACCE can be directly matched to capstone courses in construction, especially those related tocommunication, teamwork, and professional roles and responsibilities of graduates [6], [7].Therefore, assessment of student learning outcomes specific to accreditation requirements can befacilitated by the use of an integrative capstone experience.In fact, researchers surveying engineering programs have indicated that engineering capstonesusually include several skills that can be easily
