(NASA) has documented these activities with a growing list of the use of GPSapplications in 32 academic and industry fields at their GPS Application Exchange web site.1Additional case studies2 in multiple career fields have been published by Environmental SystemsResearch Institute, Inc. (ESRI), a major commercial provider of GIS systems.Recognizing the opportunity to enhance the capability of students to carry out research projects,the Center for Multidisciplinary Studies at the Rochester Institute of Technology has developedsix graduate and undergraduate courses in Geospatial Technologies. These courses are availableto all students across the Institute. The related courses titled Introduction to GIS, Geospatial DataAnalysis, and Geodatabase

help from Microsoft Project or Oracle Primavera and Autodesk Navisworks, Revit handles construction schedule analysis better; • Vico’s strengths lie in preparing bid packages, performing cost and cash flow analyses; and • Neither solution is able to detect potential clashes. However, both solutions can collaborate with Navisworks seamlessly to perform this task. This function can play a very important role in construction risk management.Drawing on findings from previous research and this study, a workflow for a BIM course isproposed. Designed for the wide-accepted BOK for ConE education and the most commonlyused BIM solutions, this workflow can be easily adopted throughout the ConE academiccommunity and should help to remove
