Informal discussionswith some selected students provided additional insights.Key findings indicated that future construction career role preferences were: (a) Project Manager(MPCRS = 8); (b) Superintendent (MPCRS = 7); (c) Real Estate Developer and Graduate Student(MPCRS = 6); and (d) Estimator / Inspector (MPCRS = 5). The reasons construction students gavefor preferring the project manager and superintendent roles included high salaries, opportunity tolead, love for authority, prior experiences, internships, role models, management skills, hands onwork, and working outdoors.

The study found that the population of thestudent body existed that had not experienced a natural disaster and were unaware of its impactseither on a personal or familial basis. Further, the majority of the responding students felt that theirmajor(s) and universities did not prepare them in terms of handling natural disasters and extremeweather events. Finally, a correlation was found between the location students live and a desire forknowledge about extreme weather events at

An online surveyinstrument was created to circulate among construction students to a) evaluate internshipsexperience during COVID-19, b) identify adaptation of working environment in the office andfield, c) use of additional safety measures, d) identify any project changes due to COVID-19, ande) describe their role of the COVID-19 response team. The results of the student internshipsactivity are analyzed to examine the changes associated with their previous internships beforeCOVID-19 versus their internship during the COVID-19 pandemic.
