Key Words: BIM, Engineering, Construction, CurriculumIntroductionBuilding information modeling (BIM) has increased at an exponential rate over the past decadein the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. BIM adoption has steadilyincreased since 2007; according to McGraw-Hill Construction’s Smart Market Report [1], 17%of AEC industry utilized BIM software systems in 2007, 49% in 2009, and 71% in 2012.

This modelfocuses more on what is it taught (contents and topics of different subjects), and less on whatstudent will be able to do and how will be able to use acquired knowledge and skills in his or herprofessional life after graduating the program.To switch the traditional focus from teaching to learning is not easy since it implies theassumption of new curriculum concepts that should lead and assure an effective learning [7].It is worth noting, for example, that in some Latin American countries where academic

Thus, some researchers link the two perspectives to get amore fully integrated view. They view identity as a complex phenomenon that involvesreflexive activities of self-categorization and identification with respect to membership inspecific groups [16][17]. In the following, we prefer the third interpretation as it provides amore comprehensive understanding of identity.

Itis designed for students who do not wish to continue on to a doctorate leading to an academiccareer but rather to enter the workforce with a master’s degree, a degree now viewed by many ashaving displaced the baccalaureate as the terminal engineering degree. These programs put moreemphasis on applied skills as opposed to those more theoretical in nature.

The only exception is one requiredengineering science course, Statics, taught by an AE faculty member during the second year ofthe curriculum. This lack of interaction leaves some students unsure of what it is they have cometo this program to accomplish, which can lead to students deciding to switch majors to one inwhich they better understand the process.To make sure this is not the case in our program, and to expose students to the concepts ofstructural integration early in their education, the three AE faculty members agreed to beinvolved with this Studio I design project, and have been for many years.

One problem that has surfaced as we have implemented cross-course integration of projects (e.g., a soil mechanics class designing an earth dam must interface with a water resources class who is designing the reservoir for water supply) is that the students from the two courses have difficulty finding a common meeting time. Another problem is finding time to assemble students enrolled in Sooner City courses in order to administer questionnaires and diagnostic tests, such as RATs and CATs. Thus, we have revised our curriculum to include a 1-hour seminar course in which all CEES students must enroll. Pending Regent's approval, we

Called PROCEED,for Project-Centered Education, this curriculum reform is an attempt to bring real-world projectsinto the classroom that underscore the need to learn fundamental principles while addingexcitement and relevance to the experience. One important aspect of PROCEED is garneringsupport from industrial partners who supply project ideas and personnel for the student projects.Two

IntroductionTechnical theory can be extremely abstract at the educational level. This leads to extensivereliance on students’ engagement with the material outside of the classroom through researchand internships to provide real-life context. The use of technology in the classroom is a way tobridge these experience gaps [1-3]. However, there is a question of how to integrate thistechnology effectively [4-5].
