This collaborative project aims to serve the national interest by calling for a conversation to create a shared vision of the next generation learning-centered environment for architecture engineering, and construction engineering (AEC) education. The potential of emerging technologies for creating new opportunities to improve AEC education is still under explored. A systematic investigation into the relationship between humans, learning, and technology in varied social contexts is still in the exploratory stages with respect to engineering education, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic that has had tremendous impact on the status quo. Thus, this 2-workshop series will explore relevant questions, such as what does the next generation learning-centered environment look like for AEC education? What is the role of emerging technologies in shaping the environment? The two workshops will be organized in collaboration with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). The main expected outcome is a shared vision of the next generation learning-centered environment, including its characteristics, grand challenges and opportunities, and a roadmap for research and implementation. The project will help create a pathway to timely reflect on new learning strategies, new technologies, industry and societal needs in AEC curricula, and thus producing a more adaptive AEC workforce. The proposed activities will explore different aspects of the next generation learning-centered environment, in particular, seeking innovation in the following interrelated topics: 1) AEC curricula and industry practice, 2) technology-generated artifacts and learning, 3) disciplinary gap, and 4) digital inequity. Stakeholders of different backgrounds will be invited, such as AEC educators and researchers, curriculum designers, industry professionals, students, and representatives of accreditation organizations and professional societies. The second two-day workshop will be organized as a social innovation lab focusing on a blueprint for the implementation of the vision for future learning environments. The primary outcome will be a research and implementation agenda focusing on the human-technology frontier in AEC education. The two workshops will be several months apart, during which the project team will disseminate the outcomes of the first workshop, acquire feedback from a larger stakeholder community, and plan for the second workshop. In addition, the project team will actively recruit participants from community colleges, minority serving institutions, and Non-R1 institutions. The NSF IUSE: EHR Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该协作项目旨在通过呼吁对话来建立以建筑工程和建筑工程（AEC）教育的方式建立对以下一代学习环境的共同愿景来服务国家利益。新兴技术为改善AEC教育创造新机会的潜力仍在探索。在各种社会背景下人类，学习和技术之间的关系的系统调查仍在探索性阶段，尤其是在对现状产生巨大影响的Covid-19大流行病之后。因此，这个2个工作室系列将探讨相关问题，例如下一代以学习为中心的AEC教育的环境是什么样的？新兴技术在塑造环境中的作用是什么？这两个研讨会将与美国土木工程师学会（ASCE）和美国工程教育学会（ASEE）合作组织。预期的主要结果是对以学习为中心的环境的共同愿景，包括其特征，巨大的挑战和机遇以及研究和实施的路线图。该项目将有助于建立及时反思新的学习策略，新技术，行业和社会需求的途径，从而产生更适应性的AEC劳动力。拟议的活动将探讨以下相互关联的主题中的下一代学习环境的不同方面，特别是寻求创新：1）AEC课程和行业实践，2）技术生成的文物和学习，3）学科差距以及4）数字不平等。将邀请不同背景的利益相关者，例如AEC教育者和研究人员，课程设计师，行业专业人员，学生以及认证组织和专业社会的代表。第二天为期两天的研讨会将被组织为一个社会创新实验室，重点是蓝图，以实施未来学习环境的愿景。主要结果将是一项研究和实施议程，重点是AEC教育中的人类技术领域。这两个研讨会将相隔几个月，在此期间，项目团队将传播第一个研讨会的结果，从较大的利益相关者社区那里获得反馈，并计划第二次研讨会。此外，项目团队将积极招募社区大学，少数民族服务机构和非R1机构的参与者。 NSF IUSE：EHR计划支持研发项目，以提高所有学生的STEM教育的有效性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来提供支持。
