facilitate energy-efficiency in the commercial building industry. Another research interest of Kristen’s is engineering education, where she explores how project- and experience-based learning foster better understanding of engineering and management principles. Prior to joining ASU, Kristen was at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) as a Postdoctoral Fellow (2009-11) and then a Scientific Engineering Associate (2011-2012) in the Building Technologies and Urban Systems Department. She worked in the Commercial Buildings group, developing energy effi- ciency programs and researching technical and non-technical barriers to energy efficiency in the buildings industry. She has a background in collaborative design

Paper ID #7858Strategy to incorporate BIM curriculum in Planning and Scheduling classesDr. Marcel Maghiar, Georgia Southern University Marcel Maghiar, Ph.D., Assistant Professor at Georgia Southern University teaches Construction Manage- ment courses at junior and senior level in the department. His research experience includes development of computer syntaxes to unequivocally describe construction activities and development of a consistent methodology to explicitly classify and quantify construction methods (emerging taxonomy of construc- tion methods). Marcel’s main expertise is in computer modeling of construction
