teaching project management with PMI providing various certifications.All the current teaching curriculum is mostly focused on PM technology developed somedecades ago with new tools helping to automate them. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI)and its use in PM provide new opportunities for prediction and better results. This paper willinvestigate and demonstrate the adaptability of AI for PM, and how the teaching curriculum canbe changed to help introduce the AI for better project performance. PMI, from a professionalperspective, is also beginning to discuss the use of AI.This paper will cover two current teaching methods followed by details of AI for PM and itsteaching. First, we discuss a common teaching method that uses an engineering

time as “EC2000”.The change constituted a shift fromcounting input credits to focusing on the definition of student outcomes and development ofstrategies for assessing whether students were achieving these outcomes. These new and lessprescriptive assessment criteria meant that there was a potential for programs to become moredivergent in their approach to the curriculum, though they remain bounded by program-specificcriteria. The curriculum must provide a thorough grounding in the basic sciences including chemistry, physics, and/or biology, with some content at an advanced level, as appropriate to the objectives of the program. The curriculum must include the engineering application of these basic sciences to the design

Historically, Construction Management programs receivedaccreditation from the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE), whereasConstruction Engineering programs were overseen by ABET. However, in 2014, ABETexpanded its accreditation to include Construction Management programs, recognizing theincreasingly overlapping nature of these fields.

In2003, the university adopted a track system with the FYE foundational courses separated intothree tracks: Track A (aerospace, agricultural, biomedical, civil, industrial, mechanical, andnuclear engineering), Track B (computer and electrical engineering), and Track C (chemical andpetroleum engineering). Track A was primarily project-based and used Mindstorms, Legos,magnetic balls, and beams to build structures. Track B focused on circuit design and computerprogramming. Only Track C maintained the FC curriculum until 2013. The target population ofthis study is first-time-in-college (FTIC) chemical or petroleum engineering students who startedin

Second, the product variable measures of learning outcomes in thisstudy are all based on students’ perception (e.g., perceived ease of use toward learningenvironment). Any objective measures of performance (pre and post-test or a hands-on exercise)to test the students understanding of the design process would be a good addition to the study.Third, a longitudinal study implementing games in a curriculum would reveal some interestingresults about the feasibility of games being a supplement to traditional lecture methodologies.AcknowledgmentsWe thank our industrial partners, Toolwire Inc. for working with us in providing the necessarytechnical help in developing

In her book University,Inc. Jennifer Washburn describes repeated instances where influence from industry (andcorporate contributions) is suspected as the cause of questionable decisions by universities oreven manipulated research results6. Although many of her allegations are circumstantial, shedoes make a substantial case that money influences what is taught in many situations.
