This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $330,000 to the University of Utah to design, develop, and test an AI-enhanced mobile learning system that helps civil and construction engineering students integrate unstructured observations from their everyday environments with formal engineering education. The proposed system will use AI to direct students' attention to key construction components, explain the observations, and link them to course materials, generating automated reports for instructors. The project aims to promote equity and accessibility by designing the system for basic smartphones and incorporating features for users with color vision deficiency. Through a novel hybrid image-audio processing approach, the system will efficiently recognize and classify various construction elements. Over the 3-year project period ending August 2027, the University of Utah will implement and empirically evaluate the effectiveness of this AI-enhanced teaching and learning method in undergraduate construction engineering courses.
