The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,997 Project Grant to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, also known as the Office of Sponsored Programs, to investigate how interactions with sensing technologies in a mixed reality environment can strengthen the professional technical identity development of construction engineering students.
The two-year research project aims to: 1) establish a framework defining the decision-making process and technical steps used by professionals who implement sensing technologies in the construction industry, and 2) develop theories describing the psychological impacts of a mixed reality environment designed for professional technical identity development. The research will be conducted at minority and non-minority serving institutions to understand how the mixed reality environment influences students' professional technical identity across different demographic backgrounds.
