collaborative work in students of the AECO sectorthrough artificial intelligence tools. To this end, a pedagogical module based onapplications of artificial intelligence is proposed to develop these skills (Admiraalet al., 2019; Ballen et al., 2024). For this we will use the premium GPT chat tools,Hypar and TeFit, the combined use of these tools involves analyzing, discussing andrefining ideas among the members, to achieve a final solution.The module proposed for collaborative work is to use the Hypar and TesFit tools thatallow Construction Management students to quickly create preliminary projects withmultiple design alternatives in real time, evaluating and selecting the bestalternatives based on specific criteria among several users (Bsisu, 2020

two phases of a one-yearplanning project, funded by the National Science Foundation, to increase the representation ofcivil engineers with disabilities in the workforce. The purpose of this project is to build capacityfor engaging industry partners in a long-term collaboration under a shared goal of increasingworkforce accessibility for students with disabilities pursuing careers in civil engineering.Specific objectives for this project include: (1) synthesizing relevant literature; (2) identifyingand engaging industry stakeholders; (3) exploring collaborative tensions and synergies amongindustry stakeholders; and (4) developing a robust research agenda for the next phases of theproject.BackgroundDespite calls from the National Science

the option to choosebetween questions have all been explored as ways to reduce anxiety and promote a morerelaxed testing environment [17], [36]. Open-book exams, for example, allow students torefer to their notes during the exam, reducing the pressure to memorize vast amounts ofinformation. Research has shown that such assessments can help promote critical thinking,problem-solving, and reflection, rather than rote memorization, which is often the focus oftraditional exams [17]. Similarly, group exams, which encourage collaboration amongstudents, have been suggested as a way to reduce stress by fostering cooperative learning.However, while these alternatives may reduce stress, they also present challenges inaccurately assessing individual

] “This pandemic forced the use of this type of pedagogy andnow that its effectiveness has been proven, many will not go back to traditional methods” [8],[17]. and has led to calls for more diverse and comprehensive evaluation techniques that betterreflect the diverse ways that students learn. Our research begins to fill this gap by exploring anew pedagogic strategy based on frequent unannounced evaluations with the objective ofcontributing to student learning and to build academic integrity in students. The study wasconducted by introducing frequent unannounced evaluations in Civil Engineering andArchitectural courses. Along with the frequent unannounced evaluations, the pedagogic strategyincluded various types of activities and studying habits

The gameis designed as a cooperative board game to emphasize the feature of multi-criteria decision-making by facilitating discussion among players who would have different weights on theconsidered criteria. The multi-criteria nature can demonstrate all the different facets a structuralengineer will need to consider as they design infrastructure for communities and work to
