Among factors that influence the sense of belonging of women to a major areidentity or being valued [12]; stereotype-free educational environment [13]; formal and informalstudent organizations supporting female students [12]; family, faculty and peer support [7]. Onthe other hand, and specific to the construction industry, many prior studies indicate thatpresence of gender stereotyping, low sense of belonging, lack of support system, and lack offemale role models factor to women opting out of construction-related studies and careers [14],[15], [16].Previous research on sense of belonging found that only when an

, which is associated with persistence and career success [9][33]. Empiricalfindings from PID research will guide construction educators and policy makers towardsdecisions and practices that will support the effective identification, motivation, preparation,retention, graduation and transition of students into construction professions. Consequently, thepurpose of this research study was to gain insights into construction students’ lived experiencesthat influence their CPID. Specifically, this present research study involves an examination ofthe personal and academic experiences of HBCU construction students that influenced theirCPID across four educational stages (elementary, middle, high, and college). To this effect, theresearch questions are

This wasthe first time the students encountered an authentic problem, which is a key component of PBL[4]. In this problem-solving process, faculty from the Department of Urban Horticulture &Design played a role as the consultants who provided input on a crop plan and planting schedule.This session helped the students to determine the location of vegetation, form, and orientation ofthe structure based on the solar exposure, sun path, circulation, and accessibility of the user. Theinteraction with multiple parties provided students a broader perspective on the architect-client,architect-consultant

Several potential motivators, including interest, relevance, funand enjoyment, and hands-on learning can interact and may explain why a person pursues a particularaction.

In order to support ourproject-based learning strategy, we advocate for the use of evidence as a tool to inform bothlearning and decision-making. The evidence to be used will be provided by previous casesrelated to the impact of natural events to the infrastructure in Puerto Rico, using the case-basedlearning method. We use the definition stated by [9] in which a case study is “an intense study ofa single unit with the purpose of a larger class of (similar) units”, and with the pedagogicalpurposes cases have been used in academia following the methods originally pioneered byChristopher Langdell in which cases are used as instances to understand situations that later
