Asa result, learning becomes more meaningful7, abstract concepts gain physical meaning, andstudents become more engaged. As meaningful connections among different subjects areexplored, a holistic view is formed, which reflects the world as students know instead of onedescribed in abstract theories.There is an overwhelming evidence for effectiveness of integrated teaching in the literature.Discussions on the importance of integration, reviews of most significant accomplishments todate and the corresponding conclusions, with further suggestions for future initiatives werereported by Froyd and Ohland8.

Such a model can be utilized to study alternative sequences, erection coordination and actual progress. Direct ties to scheduling software can be made, connecting scheduling activities to model components to “drive” the model. 5D: Five-dimensional. The “fifth dimension” generally describes quantity and cost information that is derived from or applied to a BIM model. Current software allows many quantities to be generated directly from a 3D model. Other quantities can be generated
