In conventional course occurrences, events like a midterm, final andassignments tend to overlap between classes, and can cause big spikes in student workload. Withan increased number of students in each class, students can also feel the pressure of increasedcompetition. These stresses’ on both faculty and students, negatively affect the positive outcomesdesired by both groups. This paper describes the formulation, design, and execution of twoplanning methods used to help balance the needs, workload, and time resources for both thefaculty and students in an Engineering curriculum.

just usingsoftware.Using BIM has major advantages for construction. It allows for an efficient construction processthat saves time and money and reduces the number of RFIs and field coordination problems,compared to traditional practices. Perhaps, the most important force driving the adoption of BIMis the ability to integrate all members of project teams together by communicating ideas moreeffectively, thereby providing a competitive advantage for innovative firms.12 Therefore, inincorporating BIM into the CEM curriculum, the main focus should be on fundamental BIMconcepts and processes, not on mastering BIM tools.13This paper proposes a holistic view of BIM education in post-secondary institutions.

The unique features of therevised curriculum comprised an interdisciplinary approach with a business minor as an integralelement of the CM major.
