This businessenterprise uses students in an experiential learning mode in order to deliver products that thetargeted market segments would not be otherwise able to conduct using professional consultingservices. Likewise, these efforts help to build community economic opportunities byjumpstarting projects that would otherwise not be able to be done absent some key preliminarywork. The goal has been to generate further professional work and efforts that can aid in thedevelopment of a more robust local economy. This paper will discuss the outcomes of

The research team hypothesized that by quickly seeing the 3Drepresentation of their 2D drawings, students will gain a deeper understanding of theinterconnections between different design components. and that understanding can improvespatial visualization skills.To illustrate the 2D to 3D conversion, consider the 2D structural plans in Figures 4 (a) and (b).These plans provide essential information about the design and structure of a building, but theycan be challenging to visualize in 3D for students. By clicking the 3D conversion button (Figure4 (c)), the SVA will generate a 3D plan as shown in Figure 4 (d).SVA DebuggingTo ensure the

These skills are essential in the field of construction management. The study assessedLiDAR's effectiveness in enhancing students' learning outcomes in an "Estimating" course by comparingtraditional plan-based learning with LiDAR-assisted learning. Students were tasked with reviewing aconstruction plan and then given access to a LiDAR scan of the same project for virtual exploration andmeasurement. A survey was developed with multiple questions about students’ overall experience, theircomfort level with working with either mode of data delivery, and some basic

]. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process for creating andmanaging digital representations of buildings, encompassing physical and functionalcharacteristics [13]. A computer simulation that accounts for all the physical effects that take placewithin a building, such as radiation, convection, thermal conduction, and phase changes, is calleda building energy model (BEM) [16]. Similarly Building Energy Modelling (BEM) and BIMapplications like Energyplus can be used to stages like in planning, designing, operating, andmonitoring energy management, enabling reliable decision-making.

economy. However, this industryfaces a significant challenge due to the high cost of building, workers' low productivity, and lackof innovations [1]. One of the main strategies to enhance the performance of the construction isthe use of digital technologies, such as Building Information Modeling. This technology enablessimultaneous site planning and building element production, which can reduce project deliverytime by 30% to 50% [2]. Nonetheless, many AEC firms have found it difficult to use this tooldue to cultural resistance and implementation costs [3]. Therefore, given the advantages ofdigitalization, there is a need to uncover solutions to break the boundaries of employing BIM inbuilding design projects and construction sites.For educators

Additionally, 3Dscanners can measure existing buildings in the absence of original drawings, leading to reducedconstruction time and costs during renovations.The usage of 3D models in the planning stages of renovation has become increasingly prominentin engineering and construction.
