The National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded Carnegie Mellon University $150,000 on January 1, 2027, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop and test an AI-enabled communication coach for civil engineering teams working on large-scale infrastructure problems. The award funds research and educational development through December 31, 2028, with place of performance in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The project will create a computer system that observes engineering teams discussing realistic infrastructure scenarios in a simulated environment and delivers personalized feedback to improve cross-disciplinary communication and coordination. The initiative targets the formation of T-shaped engineers—professionals combining deep technical expertise with broad communication and teamwork skills—in collaboration with construction industry partners and a municipal public works department in western Pennsylvania. The project simultaneously trains two early-career engineering faculty members in rigorous education research methods, directly supporting the NSF Professional Formation of Engineers: Research Initiation in Engineering Formation (PFE: RIEF) program. This assistance is structured as a project grant.
