, enjoyedincreased GPA, and had a better college performance [21], [26], [28]–[30]. In general, an internship canimprove the academic learning status of a student by a) providing more profound learning of subjects incomparison to the limited subject introduction in the classroom b) enabling the students’ critical thinkingon complex problems of real projects c) providing an ideal and engaging continuous learning environmentfor the students [31]. Internships can also benefit the universities. Based on Routon and Walker’s [30]study, for universities, internships can increase students’ satisfaction rates, graduate school enrollmentrates, and coursework retention [30]. Employers also benefit from the internship programs. For them,internships can provide an

ladder. Question 1 asks the user to find the coordinates of twopoints A and B, which are the end points of a ladder against a building. When that question isanswered correctly, then solving for the distance between those two points (Question 2), asshown in Figure 4 (b), would be asked as to calculate the length of the ladder. Question 3, asshown in Figure 4(c), asks the inclination/slope of the ladder the worker must climb. If all thethree questions are answered then the student would be able to see an animation of the workerclimbing the ladder. However, if any of the three questions are incorrect or unanswered, then theworker will not climb the ladder, that means the player did not score all three points. a. Part 1 – Question 1

affect internships. 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. The two states, Georgia andOklahoma, are compared with students' respondent perspectives. Additionally, insights intoexternal views of the media or political background are identified in the

Second, the students were asked the type ofcompanies they would prefer to work for upon graduation. 60% of the students would like towork for a construction company, while only 4% of the class stated their interest in working for agovernment organization [Figure 5Error! Reference source not found. (a)]. These pilot results showed that the majorityof the students are interested in vertical construction and it is essential to integrate aninfrastructure-based curriculum to increase the inclination of students towards learning andworking in horizontal construction. Finally, students were asked about their working experiencein
