Elecosoft, a global software company specializing in construction scheduling and project controls, is escalating its strategic focus on the Asta Academic Partnership Program. This initiative provides colleges and universities with access to Asta Powerproject, a leading construction scheduling platform used by contractors, schedulers, and project teams across the built environment.
Through the program, Elecosoft provides complimentary access to Asta Powerproject for qualified institutions, giving students hands-on experience with the same technology used to plan and deliver complex projects around the world.
Elecosoft has already partnered with 26 institutions, including the University of Denver, Purdue University, the University of Notre Dame, the University of Texas-San Antonio, and Colorado School of Mines, with several more evaluating the platform.
Purpose-built for the construction industry, Asta Powerproject combines intuitive usability with powerful functionality, offering features such as 4D BIM integration, mobile progress tracking, and enterprise resource management.
“This renewed focus reflects our commitment to shaping the next generation of construction professionals,” said David Hernandez, Head of U.S. Operations at Elecosoft. “We’re not just offering software, we’re helping bridge the gap between academic theory and industry application, so students graduate better prepared to lead and deliver value to their employers.”
The company is now working more closely with faculty to expand training resources, support curriculum integration, and grow program adoption across engineering and construction management departments.
“By integrating Asta Powerproject into the curriculum, educators are able to introduce students to the real-world complexities of project planning and controls,” Hernandez added. “It’s not just about learning software, it’s about shaping a mindset that prioritizes proactive planning, collaboration, and delivering successful project outcomes.”
This initiative supports Elecosoft’s broader mission to improve project delivery across the AEC sector by transforming how the next generation approaches construction planning, from reactive workflows to outcome-focused execution. Future phases of the program may include additional solutions from Elecosoft’s portfolio, such as project portfolio management and asset lifecycle tools.
