Laboratory sessions were an integral part of the course, and theyinvolved working through practice problems and creating schedules in Microsoft Project. Thestudents followed step-by-step in completing the exercises and they were given take-homeassignments. In-class exercises such as creating network diagrams and line of balance scheduleswere completed. The students work in groups on a real project to develop a constructionschedule. Students

Previously, there was minimal BIM software or skills taught within the curriculum.After two years of course development and increased student interest, the BIM course became arequired course in 2015. The class meets four hours per week, for a ten-week quarter and istaught in a computer laboratory. This class is listed as an Activity, rather than a Lecture or aLaboratory. It is the goal of this course to introduce students to a number of BIM softwaresystems and tools used within the industry. The class covers eleven software systems in tenweeks. The software systems currently covered include

The classroom experience can range from entirely composed of lectures to thosehaving only interactive activities. Students may additionally attend laboratory, recitation, orcomparable sessions.

The engineering and technology accrediting board, ABET, issued informationrelatively early about changes due to COVID-19. ABET determined short-term changes due to COVIDwould not need to be reported (ABET, 2020). In addition to concerns about having in-person classes andlab exercises, another concern expressed was how to communicate online in ways that are as effectiveas in person. Universities were prompted to provide additional faculty support for teaching and someeven identified some “hacks” that could be used for a graphical interface (University of Nevada Reno,2020).
