The National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded $199,982 to The University Corporation on September 1, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to assess four-year teaching institutions' readiness to incorporate emerging technologies into civil and construction management undergraduate programs. The project conducts an exploratory study examining structural supports and barriers, as well as faculty-level perceived agency and readiness to teach emerging technologies—including artificial intelligence, data analytics, automation and monitoring, sensing and immersive technologies, and modeling and simulation—in four-year teaching institutions across the United States. The research targets regional and primarily teaching-focused colleges and universities that play a critical role in preparing the future infrastructure workforce, addressing a gap in existing literature focused predominantly on doctoral research universities. The study identifies institutional capabilities and barriers to technology integration and suitable practices for equipping civil and construction management professionals with essential skills for advanced technologies. The University Corporation, a non-profit auxiliary organization of California State University, Northridge serving as the research administration entity for CSUN, is the recipient. Performance occurs in Northridge, California, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2028.
