However, its feasibility is often assessed using basic metrics,such as square meters or project scope, which overlook financial implications. This paperpresents a learning-oriented methodology for assessing BIM feasibility, using BIMProject Execution Planning (BEP) metrics to help students develop a

It is dynamically updated with the data from its physical twin, has a predictivecapability and informs decisions that realizes value [24], [25].Digital technologies are transforming how people learn and are increasingly introduced at alleducational levels [26], [27]. The essential role of technology in face-to-face education isreflected in initiatives such as the U.S. National Educational Technology Plan [28], [29]. Whichemphasizes the importance of reconfiguring physical learning environments (e.g., classrooms) tofacilitate technology-mediated learning (TML).When integrated into physical classrooms, digital technologies can offer immediate feedback,promote interaction, and support diverse learning needs by

program requires a student to complete a capstone study that is supervised byat least two advisors representing two different fields of study. The capstone study can be a‘creative component’ or a ‘research report’. The GC is of relatively low cost and can greatly helpstudents wishing to pursue a graduate (MS or PhD) degree in future, besides being helpful inpractice. A student is required to devise a plan of study (POS) in consultation with the two advisorsand requires a contract between the student, graduate college and the school. The graduatecertificate consists of 12 credit hours which can all be double-counted towards the undergraduatedegree.At the time of writing this article, 21 students successfully completed the GC and one student ison

LEED provides a comprehensive scoring rubric that covers a widerange of criteria—including site feasibility, energy efficiency, water conservation, materials andresources, and indoor environmental quality—making the evaluation process systematic yetchallenging. Compared to more generalized writing tasks, LEED Narratives demand bothtechnical precision and effective communication skills. Because LEED already has clearevaluation frameworks, instructors theoretically have a strong foundation for offering specificand actionable feedback.Nevertheless, in practice, delivering timely and personalized feedback faces several obstacles.First, many students lack

effective problem-solving. This highlights the importance of design education in helpingstudents refine their planning and problem-solving skills. By incorporating mind mappinginto architectural education, students can improve their ability to recognize key elements ofa problem, generate solutions, and communicate their ideas more effectively. The process ofvisualizing solutions through mind maps not only supports cognitive development but alsoenhances the overall design process. Mind maps are a valuable tool in architecture education,enhancing learning by helping students organize complex ideas, link theory to practice, andintegrate creative and technical skills. They bridge the gap between studio and lecture-basedcourses, promoting a more

achieve net zeroembodied carbon in buildings by the year 2050. Their strategies include planning for a net zerobuilding sector, implementing more sustainable design, and sharing knowledge so everyone cancreate a more sustainable industry.With a growing concern about reducing carbon emissions, looking at buildings from a lifecycleor carbon footprint standpoint is essential. Measuring the carbon footprint will allow the industryto identify the most emission-intensive materials and systems, resulting in finding solutions toreduce emissions. To deliver net zero carbon emissions, engineers must reduce the embodiedcarbon implied by designs and identify means for offsetting the balance of carbon impactsthrough operational carbon content.
