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.

In a typicaluniversity curriculum emphasis during the freshmen, sophomore, and junior yearsis put on the analysis of engineering problems. In the senior year students areexpected to make a switch from analysis based coursework (one answer to ananalysis problem) to design based curriculum (multiple answers to a designproblem.) Simulation can play an important role to facilitate this transition. Amodern curriculum should include teaching the necessary computer tools duringearly classes, where the student can build course content specific models (forexample a thermal model) and save them for later

The growthof these PLM tools in engineering industries has presented a new challenge for engineeringeducators: how might PLM software training and education initiatives integrate into existingengineering curriculums? The main purpose of this research is to attempt to answer this questionthrough the implementation of a PLM system into an undergraduate research design team whileexamining the benefits and drawbacks of its use. An additional purpose is to bridge the gapbetween engineering curriculum and careers by training students in PLM tools.The case study was conducted with an undergraduate research team at Clemson University toimplement PLM tools

Hence the application of Fourieranalysis to spatial functions often results in a deeper appreciation and understanding of thetransform. Optics readily provides a means of visualizing these relations. Finally, since theFourier transform is a linear transform, Fourier analysis also provides an excellent format forreinforcing the fundamental concepts of linearity and linear algebra.ToolsMany software packages exist that are useful for integrating and applying Taylor’s Theorem andFourier analysis into a technical curriculum.

The increase in efficiency and the corresponding ability to include more topics in thecurriculum has impacted other courses in CME. For example, exergy and combustion reactions,topics not seen in either ME301 or ME362, are normally taught in ME472: Energy ConversionSystems, an advanced elective.
