The senior design class is a core course for last-year students in manyArchitecture, Civil, and Construction engineering programs. Students are given opportunities towork on a real building project through multiple class activities, BIM software, and lectures bypractitioners. The goal of this research was divided into two parts: 1) Evaluate the teachingmethods for delivering BIM topics in a senior design class. A questionnaire survey was distributedto students; 2) Fill the gap about the need for more research to be conducted on the solutions forimplementing BIM in the AEC industry.

Following these visits, various concepts from the 3Cswere explicitly added to the course curriculum to ensure students were becoming familiar withthe 3Cs and actively applying them in their project work.As it currently stands, the standard course sequence consists of two courses where the secondcourse (ENGR 1182) is

engineering design projects bring together knowledge from differentsources. They collaborate among themselves, share design knowledge, and negotiate with eachother, faculty members and the client, in order to create engineering artifacts. This process ofteninvolves reuse of previous knowledge and the creation of new knowledge within the context ofthe problem. Such knowledge building is a key process skill that engineers need to acquireduring their education.Ideally in team projects, students co-construct the knowledge necessary to realize their designsthrough the process of proposing, counter-proposing, questioning, arguing, agreeing, anddissenting. A major problem student teams face is learning how to organize and share ideas. Thisfrequently results

The goal of each team was to develop the greatest electrical power outputgiven the constraints of wind velocity, swept area, a specified hub and mounting. In practice, thedesign of wind turbines is extremely complex. Therefore, to make the project tractable tosophomore level undergraduates, significant constraints were placed on the problem statement,which allowed calculations to inform teams’ decisions. To evaluate design instances withoutconstructing rotors, the students developed a computer program to predict
