Construction students had the opportunity to attend a guest lecture by Dr Sarah Holden, founder and director of Oxygen Consulting, this week.

Titled Building the Future: Climate Accountability in New Zealand's Construction Industry, the lecture explored climate accountability, carbon reduction, sustainability practices, and the environmental responsibilities of the construction sector.

Students gained insight into current industry challenges, regulatory requirements, and practical approaches to reducing carbon emissions in construction projects.

The session was engaging and interactive, with students contributing to discussions and asking thoughtful questions throughout.

Dr Holden's industry experience helped connect course concepts with real-world practice, giving students a deeper understanding of climate disclosure, sustainability, and carbon reduction practices in the construction industry.

The lecture was well-received and provided a valuable opportunity for students to hear directly from an industry expert.

An AIC Senior Lecturer has been selected for a prestigious international research working group focused on artificial intelligence in computing education.

Dr Asanthika Imbulpitiya has been chosen to join a Working Group at the 2026 Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education (ITiCSE) conference.

ITiCSE is a leading international conference for computing and informatics education. Held annually since 1996, the conference will take place in Madrid, Spain, in July.

AIC Research Director Dr Farhad Madipour says ITiCSE Working Groups are highly competitive international collaborations that bring together researchers to investigate emerging issues in computing education.

The collaborations run over an extended period and culminate in a substantial peer-reviewed publication in the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) proceedings.

Farhad says selection for a Working Group is a significant recognition of a researcher's expertise and places Asanthika among a small group of international researchers contributing to emerging conversations about agentic AI in computing education.

Asanthika has also been awarded a Henry Walker Travel Grant to support her attendance at the conference. Asanthika was one of five conference participants to receive a grant.

We’re proud to share that one of our Construction students has been named a finalist in the Student Excellence Award category at the 2026 National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) Excellence Awards.

Tianyi Yin said she was genuinely surprised and honoured to be recognised alongside other finalists. The recognition is a reflection of her dedication and growing involvement in the industry over the past year through events, volunteering, and professional development.

NAWIC plays an important role in promoting diversity and inclusion across New Zealand’s construction sector, and this award highlights students who show strong potential in the field.

Finalists will be celebrated at the NAWIC Excellence Awards in Wellington on 24 July 2026.

Last year, the Bachelor of Construction student earned industry recognition for an award-winning essay on how AI can improve cost forecasting accuracy and efficiency. Tianyi came first in the Quantity Surveyors Emerging Professionals essay competition, which is part of the New Zealand Institute of Quantity Surveyors Conference.

Tianyi’s journey so far highlights the importance of not only building technical knowledge but also developing adaptability, collaboration skills, and openness to new technologies. These qualities will shape the next generation of Quantity Surveyors.

Congratulations, Tianyi, on this well-deserved recognition.
