Simulations in Construction and Engineering Management Education to Explore Professional Challenges
Experiential learning opportunities in construction management courses allow students to explore principles and theories through direct, lived experiences that help them develop understandings of professional concepts foundational to their future work. This article examines the results of a multiple-case study that examines a simulation called marshmallow dodgeball conducted in an undergraduate project management course, designed to help students consider ethical and professional dilemmas that parallel those in the field. A thematic analysis of student reflections on the simulation shows students learned about dealing with ethical issues in the field, the role of teamwork, the importance of job skills and specialization, and communication on the job site.
