. Completing the case study project allowed students to demonstrateproficiency in the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) Criterion 3c, 3e,and 3g, which were major objectives of the course. For the case study presented here, thestudents were required to design the construction process for an electrical substation project thathad recently been completed by the industry partner. At the completion of the case study project,the students presented their results to a panel of professionals including the course instructor, twomembers representing the industry partner, and two members representing the local electricalutility company. The industry partner also conducted job interviews for all students that wereinterested in a career with

defined as the process of creating an intelligent and computable 3-D data set andsharing the data among the various types of professionals within the design and construction team.BIM technology enables the designer, engineer and builder to visualize the entire scope of abuilding project in 3-D and as well as attached schedule and cost data to the 3-D model andtherefore is ideal for being able to assist improve the collaboration among project participants.Designers and builders can plan-out, in precise detail, the location and clearances needed for acomplete and successful project. Therefore, the authors’ idea was to utilize BIM technologysoftware to enhance student-learning experience as is relates to MEP coordination.MEP Coordination Laboratory
