A successful program willhelp shape an inclusive and equitable environment. In small programs, teachers canwork as a whole. In larger programs, the dialogue between teachers will becomeincreasingly complex.

These include the implementation of an “EM workshop” that includesactivities on all 3C’s as well as chances to provide more emphasis on user needs and problem/opportunity identification on design projects [18].

For example, if project input parametersalong with expectations are given to the tool, then it can produce required documentation for variousaspects of construction. It will be a great AI tool to use for teaching construction engineering because itcan act like a “Construction Management Software Program”.
