through the principles ofUniversal Design, which benefit all users [83], [84].Gaps in the Literature and Future DirectionsSeveral gaps in the literature warrant attention. First, the lack of long-term studies assessing thesustained impact of these technologies is a significant gap. For example, some studies [24], [25]show initial promise of using technology but do not extend beyond short-term evaluations.Additionally, there is a need for more inclusive design practices that involve the target populationfrom the outset. The tendency of many studies (e.g., [26], [27]), to prioritize technologicalinnovation over user needs, leads to solutions that may not be fully aligned with the experiencesand preferences of the intended users.Future research

Previous research indicates Construction 4.0 to be a transformative framework [2,14]encompassing changes during production (namely increasing industrial production), theapplication of cyber-physical systems, and the wider spread of digital technologies. Therefore,Construction 4.0 is not a single, but a system of emerging and connected technologies andprocesses.Previous research has categorized these technologies and processes

. One group did note how public feedback influences research priorities on their actor map,a mechanism that was repeated across most of the other causal loop maps with variation in detail.Comments on Mapping Process and Overall ThemesA key process insight from assessing the problem dimension across the maps is that both theactor mapping and causal loop diagramming tools did not push participants to explain their ownassumptions or pause to consider/collect the information they did not have access to. To a degreethis makes sense; time constraints in the workshop did not leave much opportunity for secondaryresearch.

While these frameworks canbe used to provide understanding and characterization of the relationship between a person andenvironment, Neufeld’s Model (Fig. 1) focuses on the process through which a person andenvironment interact and how that process promotes or hinders goal attainment. In general, theenvironment is defined as the people, procedures, and structures that comprise the environment aperson is navigating including implicit or informal procedures and structures. To characterize theengagement between a person and environment, this model uses a tripartite construct ofnegotiation, evaluation

However,the increasing availability of accessible programming languages, CAD software, andextracurricular initiatives suggests shifts in this landscape. Unlike AP Computer Science, whichprovides a structured national framework for programming education, engineering-relatedcourses lack similar widespread adoption mechanisms, leading to inconsistent offerings acrossschools.
