GenAI CyberTraining Platform for Construction Education

Project Information
Supported by National Science Foundation (NSF), this project aims to develop an  interactive CyberTraining platform powered by cognitive and generative AI to advance construction education with a focus onBuilding Information Modeling (BIM) Cyber Infrastructure (CI). The proposed CyberTraining platform provides an interactive, customized, and course-oriented learning environment by knowledge space theories, scaffold learning, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). A four-week BIM learning module has been developed and integrated into the platform.
