The award ceremony took place on Monday at Rice University in Houston, Texas. The recipients are Ko Tae-woo from Kookmin University’s School of Architecture, Lee Jee-hee from Chung-Ang University’s School of Architecture and Building Science, and H. David Jeong from Texas A&M University’s Department of Construction Science. Their paper, published in the Journal of Management in Engineering, an ASCE journal, showcases an AI-based technology that automatically assigns roles and responsibilities to different departments based on requirements specified in contracts. This innovative technology demonstrates outstanding academic and practical contributions, innovation, and impact, making it the top choice for the ASCE's annual award.",
