, casestudies, and projects used to teach sustainability in this context. The key research goal of thispaper is to identify and document some methods of using BIM as an effective tool to teachsustainable building design and construction.A building design and construction class integrating BIM was developed and its initial offeringwas used as a case study for this paper. One feature of this class was the introduction of threedifferent BIM software packages during a single semester, which enabled students to use BIMtools to conduct “what-if” sustainability analyses during design and construction scenarios. Aresidential and a commercial building were used as class projects to allow students todemonstrate the knowledge they had learned in class. Project

These tower projects engage students and their parents to build structures withconstraints that challenge them. This simple project interests students and begins the dialog atyoung ages as to what engineers design and professional contractors build.IntroductionAt the University of Maine, construction education is under the School of EngineeringTechnology in the College of Engineering.

These construction zones temporarily negatively impacttraffic flow and deteriorate safety conditions impacting both road users and constructionworkers. Construction zone accidents involving motorists account for 70% of the total highwayaccidents. Motorists suffer approximately 700 fatalities

The course is structured as a lecture-lab combination where thefundamental concepts and implementation issues are discussed in the lecture portion. In the labsessions, the students are asked to complete individual projects and present them in differentformats. The purpose of this paper is to provide a sample structure to deliver BIM content.Feedback from the students, instructor observations, and recommendations for the computerexercises are also included in the paper.IntroductionAs Building Information Modeling (BIM) becomes a standard practice in the Architecture-Engineering-Construction industry, many universities and colleges offering a

buildingconstruction is for the formwork (ACI 347 report). The collapse of a temporary structure duringconstruction involves a high risk of serious injuries, deaths and substantial property loss. A clearunderstanding of the design and construction of temporary structures is a critical function notonly for the designers but also for developers, contractors, suppliers of construction equipment,inspectors and all users of temporary structures. These temporary structures may pose substantialchallenges for the contractors since the projects design professionals rarely mention them in theproject documents. The lack of clear design, plan and specifications for these structures leaves alarge number of choices open to the contractor. Since no typical plan and

The internship was designed as a three-way partnership betweenthe AGC-ERF, the faculty host institution, and the host company. The initial budget of theprogram was $30,000 funded in equal parts by the three internship partners. The internship wasfor a period of two months, and the faculty was a member of the jobsite management team at alevel similar to a project engineer or assistant project manager.

constructionindustry continues to advance educators must be aware of what the “cutting edge” of technologyin construction is, so they can expose their students to it, and more thoroughly prepare them forwhat they will interact with in their careers. This study utilized a survey of construction industryprofessionals to learn about advances in technology and where they are being used. The internetbased survey netted more than 1,000 responses and produced a sample for each question thatranged from n = 116 to n = 1,014. Specifically this study sought to learn about the use ofaugmented and virtual reality technology, the technology that industry professionals have seenand hope to see used in future projects, and the barriers to technology adoption.
