The infusion of diversityinto the field of civil engineering in the United States yields numerous advantages, including amultifaceted project perspective, heightened project value, the enrichment of knowledge, talent,and ideas, access to expansive networks, and the production of superior final products necessaryfor global competitiveness in infrastructure [2]. Consequently, achieving this imperative requiresa comprehensive examination of the

An example of this technology isAugmented Reality (AR). AR allows the user to see and interact with computer-generatedinformation overlayed in the real world. AR has been recognized as a practical andsupplementary teaching tool that can greatly improve traditional teaching methods [10].
