It is critical to understand the role of emerging technologies in shaping the learning environment for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) education. Anecdotal evidence in AEC education already exists with respect to pedagogical improvements made by individual technologies such as immersive computing, ubiquitous sensing, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, big data, cyberinfrastructure, and photogrammetry. However, the human-technology frontier in AEC workplaces is destined to change fundamentally in the coming years. This Special Collection aims to advance knowledge in the application of emerging technologies in AEC education, by encouraging contributions to new concepts, methodologies, and best practices, as well as experiments and case studies for current and future integration of technologies in AEC education.
