Globally, organizations are experiencing workforce and employee shortages that vary from one industry to another, and the hospitality industry is among the worst affected (De Smet et al., 2022). The primary purpose of this study was to identify and explore factors that contribute to turnover and attrition in the foodservice industry so that…

Although the professional culture of designers has been emphasized as a peripheral issue in various fields of study in design, such as design culture and design management, it has rarely been the central topic of research. However, studies from other professional fields have demonstrated the significance of studying professional culture,…

Contribution: This article explored problem scoping in an industry sponsored engineering design capstone course before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. It employs reflection-in-action and quantitative action research, to demonstrate how the pandemic offered an opportunity for (1) students to develop their problem scoping skills and (2) for the…

The aim of this paper is to identify and explore 'enablers' to a lived calling: those people, things or events that pave the way for individuals to live their calling. These enablers emerged from a study of sixty-five Australian respondents across a range of industries. The results of the research, which utilised the grounded theory research…

The long history of experiential learning in construction engineering shows the significant potential of cognitive development through direct experience. Recent advancements in gamification, especially digital serious games, can help educators develop novel pedagogical strategies to promote active and experiential learning in controlled settings.…

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry involves substantial requirements for visualization of complex three-dimensional models. There is a significant opportunity to expand the range of tools used to prepare students for this reality, while increasing engagement in the learning process. This study details several potential…

Entrepreneurship is crucial for economic growth and employment, but conventional didactical approaches appear ineffective. Effective approaches should include experiential learning from real problems.

Inspired by the evolving nature of qualitative research, this study aims to examine the use of "qualitative survey", a newer technique in qualitative data collection methods than interviews and observation. In addition to trends in research capacity, collaborations and research topics, the extent to which this data collection method has…

This paper presents a systematic review of the role of prompt engineering during interactions with Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in Higher Education (HE) to discover potential methods of improving educational outcomes. Drawing on a comprehensive search of academic databases and relevant literature, key trends, including multiple…

This novel qualitative study explores the transformative potential of Virtual Reality (VR) in augmenting Computer-Based Training (CBT) for energy industry contractors. By immersing participants in four VR simulations, the study delves into the heart of how learners perceive hazardous work environments and emergency procedures in VR. The findings…

Among the contributions on skills in economic geography and related disciplines, the skills required in a regional context for putting circular economy into practice remain largely unaddressed. Labour markets have however a strong regional dimension, and industry development and transformation is often heavily reliant on already existing skills in…

Cultural and creative products are incredibly diverse that difficult to mass-produce and fail to meet market demands. The unique characteristics and the cultural and sales value of cultural and creative products must be highlighted through the application of multifunctional design. As a scientific approach, the Delphi method and fuzzy logic theory…

For construction management students completing the construction planning and scheduling course to meet work expectations and provide effective benefit to their employers, the course curriculum should accurately reflect the needs of industry.
