The theme and exercise that you will practice on as a summer school scholar is this:
Computing within the construction industry has the potential to contribute to UN SDG 9-11, and our awareness of this potential impact is an important precondition for improving project outcomes. Working in groups, you will have to address the question:
How can using digital processes in asset delivery (design and construction) and management (operations) contribute to UN SDG 9-11?

- Building Information Modelling and Collaboration
- Blockchain & Distributed Ledger Technology for Construction
- Energy- carbon evaluation and efficiency
- Computer vision and machine learning
- Digital Twins
Proposal Structure
- Literature Review and Background
- Identify Research Goals and Gaps
- Write Structured Research Questions
- Research Methodology by leveraging the five technological processes
- Project plan to operationalise the research
