Regardless, additional means of more effectively studyingchanged student perceptions in fundamental engineering topic delivery are planned for futureiterations of ENGR 111. As previously stated, the data used here comes from answers to a questionintentionally designed as a forced-choice ranking for the purposes of another study. However, theauthors were interested in this topic and wanted to see if it pointed towards any useful differencesbetween the two projects. For example, a Likert-type survey in which students separately rateperceived effectiveness of each topic (versus forced rankings that by nature place topics at “thebottom” of a listing) will allow much more nuanced analyses

The authors therefore plan to introduce the concepts of BIM and associated softwaretools at earlier stages of the curriculum.Another hurdle to be overcome, in terms of introducing any new technology at University level,is that faculty members do not always remain up-to-date with technical software applicationsused in industry. This may be alleviated with closer integration between industry and academia.Many of the institutions surveyed by the authors are keen to develop strong industry links andalready have visiting tutors and lecturers from industry, and this could extend to the teaching ofBIM processes and technologies.The authors aim to determine the most effective curriculum strategies that should be adopted
