This $149,987 National Science Foundation project grant through the Engineering (47.041) program will support Louisiana State University's development of an intelligent immersive training environment to foster transferable skills for future extraterrestrial construction workforces. The university will investigate the nature of future off-world construction and the hierarchy of skills required. Researchers will also explore emerging technologies that can integrate transferable skills like computational thinking and fluid reasoning into training. The team will design, prototype, and evaluate an AI-assisted simulation-based virtual training program focused on skills transferability. In particular, the project aims to address the needs of working professionals through an intelligent immersive environment that fosters skills for extraterrestrial construction. The research seeks to advance knowledge in the effectiveness of such training for skill and knowledge acquisition applicable to future off-world construction workforces. The award period is from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023.
