and techniques ofvisualization should begin early; consequently, the idea for a summer research experience forundergraduates in visualization was born. The goal of the research site is consistent with the goalof the NSF-REU program: to provide promising undergraduate students with a complete,mentored research experience, to better prepare these students for graduate school orprofessional pursuits and encourage them to pursue a career in science [15]. The impact ofundergraduate research experiences have been well documented [16], [17], [18], [19]. Facultymembers generally agree that there are significant educational benefits to the undergraduateresearch experience [20], [21]. Students are thought to develop expertise in a specific area

An action research study was conducted to assess the efficacy ofadvanced smartphone based technologies as a potential for enhancing communications andimproving passenger flow for its airport operations teams.Over two dozen airport operations personnel participated in this study that lasted severalweeks. Primary airline personnel roles included passenger facing airport operationalfunctions for both inbound (arrivals) and outbound (departures) flights. For example, ticketcounter operations, baggage handling functions, gate operations and back office functions.At the beginning of their shifts, personnel were informed by their designated airportoperations team leads, that they would be utilizing company provisioned smartphone

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
