Since the introduction of the UN Sustainable DevelopmentGoals (SDGs) in 2015, governments across the globe have been making enormous efforts topromote sustainable practices (Fei et al., 2021). The global construction industry faces increasingpressures to adopt more sustainable practices, driven by concerns over climate change, resourcedepletion, and the rising costs associated with traditional building materials (Okogwu et al., 2023).As society confronts the environmental impacts of construction, there is growing recognition thatinstitutions of higher education play a pivotal role in

In order to prepare students for more complex tasks required in embedded systemsand teach advanced topics of embedded systems, an Embedded Intelligent System Design course wascreated and initially offered in Fall 2019. Moreover, this course was also offered in Fall 2022 andSpring 2024. This paper introduces the topics of the course and practice session and term projectcontent in this embedded intelligent system design course. Course topics included Search algorithmsNumPy, Pandas, Sci-kit Learn, TensorFlow, Embedded Linux, and OpenCV. The primary

andmore informed decision-making about materials selection and performance (Yan et al., 2020).One such critical application is the prediction of concrete properties, for example, compressivestrength, density, and workability, which fundamentally determine the performance, safety, andcost-effectiveness of construction projects (Muliauwan et al., 2020). Traditional methods ofmaterial testing can be time-intensive and laborious, requiring significant effort to collect samples,conduct lab tests, and interpret results (Rajput, 2022; Zou et al., 2023). By contrast, AI and machinelearning models can learn from historical test datasets to predict concrete properties under varyingconditions, thereby offering a quick and robust tool that supports
