Slide 7: Example of Skill Building Workshop • In this skill-building workshop, we focused on three key areas: critical thinking, time management, and effective communication. The session began with an engaging icebreaker where students introduced themselves and shared one personal goal for the semester, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. We then delved into critical thinking, exploring techniques such as questioning assumptions, evaluating evidence, and making well-reasoned arguments. Students participated in group activities that challenged them to analyze

included if empathy development was amajor component examined or considered in the research. Many that integrated empathy did notdirectly explore its growth or development, it was more of a component considered or as part ofthe curriculum rather than the goal of the research. For example, McDonald and Pan (2020)presented feedback from graduate students on ethical considerations for artificial intelligence[49]. While this work elicited insight into prompting consideration of bias and fairness, fosteringempathy was more of an indirect outcome than the phenomena of focus. Alternatively studiesconducted in other countries were excluded since the interpretation and assessment of empathymay vary by culture depending on the societal norms and preferences

As these convictions revealed themselves on projects, expectations were diminished,and distrust then ensued. Consequently, this distrust among project participants eventually led topoor communication, unfruitful conflict, and reduced performance. Many members of theconstruction industry understand this dilemma and attribute the problem to an unwillingness onthe part of the project participants to behave in a collaborative manner and this gives a startingpoint for research regarding how to promote more collaborative attitudes among constructionparticipants within the construction industry.25BackgroundIn 1607
