, more women are currently encouraged topursue construction as their professional fields. This study examines potential associationsbetween gender and students' motivations for joining the construction program, the obstaclesthey encounter, their expectations, and their future career plans. Data from all first, second, andthird-year students in the Building Construction Science (BCS) program at Mississippi StateUniversity were collected using a quantitative survey. The survey covered different aspects ofstudents’ experiences and decisions. The results showed that both male and female students wereattracted to the program because of job opportunities, relatively high salary, and the challengingnature of the program. However, there were some clear

Thecombination of Unity and Vuforia enabled seamless overlay of 3D models onto physicaldrawings, enhancing both usability and engagement. The results of the post-session surveydemonstrate a positive response from participants, with the majority agreeing that the applicationimproved their comprehension of 2D to 3D conversions and facilitated a better grasp of spatialrelationships within the drawings. Participants also reported increased motivation andengagement, which are critical factors in effective learning. The high recommendation ratefurther suggests that this AR tool has

The emphasis upon “Agility” in engineering andsoftware development was signaled by the Agile Manifesto in 2001. Seventeen industry softwareengineers declared a change in the software development process. Thomas, one of the group ofseventeen, became a noted Ruby on Rails evangelist and publisher8. Rails invites agility. Agilesoftware development, unlike the rigid, sequential “waterfall” model for software development,consists of development methods based on incremental and iterative steps.

. Planned work force development has helped in thepast for the job market at a specific point in time. The work force in the past two centuries wasgenerally geared towards industry needs based on conformity rather than creativity. Among thewell-known educational paradigms were behaviorism, constructivism, and cognitivist theory.B. F. Skinner, one of the main proponents of behaviorism, developed his idea of stimulusresponse and the role of reinforcement8, 9 in the learning theory. He argued that a human actionis the result of the consequences of the same action. If the consequences are positive the actionthat led to it is likely to be repeated; if the consequences are negative, the action is not likely tobe repeated. According to behaviorism, a

Notto mention the push for the City Council of Erie to improve their vehicular infrastructure withincity limits with studies, such as the Bayfront Parkway Improvement Project, which have onlyrecently seen advancement, even after years of planned implementation2.

Finally, Tomas et al.reported their experience on implementing flipped learning in a first-year science course. Theirwork indicated that while students reported watching the pre-class videos, they were not ready totake part in the planned collaborative learning activities without a significant in-depth review ofthe video content from the course instructor, concluding that flipped learning might not be thebest choice for first year students.
