CTS Webinar: Preparing Transportation Professionals for AI Integration

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping how we design, plan, and manage infrastructure systems. In this December 2025 webinar, CTS scholars Qizhi He and Seongjin Choi discussed how AI tools are beginning to influence teaching, research, and professional practice in civil engineering. Their conversation considered how the field can adapt curriculum and training to prepare future engineers for an AI-integrated profession. They also explored questions around quality management, professional ethics, and community-centered design in an AI-driven context. Offering a practitioner's perspective, Melissa Barnes shared insights from MnDOT's ongoing AI pilot identification project. She discussed how state agencies are evaluating opportunities and risks associated with AI implementation—and engaging and educating their staff about AI.
