into the academicarena particularly in construction.IntroductionNew advancements in technology have changed the education environment. Different programsare incorporating technological methods to promote research and teaching in academia andprovide instructors with a set of practical and effective tools to facilitate the learning process.Various research projects have shown the effectiveness of technological tools in education(Department of Education, 2014). The advent of gaming and 3D modeling has enabled educatorsto utilize computer-based learning activities and mingle engaging 3D graphical features withtraditional learning approaches. One of these technological tools are the simulation applicationsthat are being used in higher education

required resources for each activity such aspersonnel, equipment and material. The diversity of participants’ responses were represented byan animation or real situation video within the simulation. Different iterations were tested duringdevelopment and used for analysis, design changes and implementation using feedback fromparticipants to augment development process. The hypothesis of this investigation is thatsimulations can have a positive effect the participants’ interest in science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and particularly construction. In addition, thestudy investigated the participants’ perceptions of simulation on learning and the contrastbetween project oriented delivery and simulations when compared with

a process insteadof a modeling tool or software program and significantly broaden their insights into BIM beyondthe existing 3D, 4D, and 5D applications. This paper will serve as a case study of an advancedlevel BIM course in CM programs.BIM in CM EducationFrom CAD to BIMDue to the standard use of paper drawings in the AEC industry, 2D computer-aided design(CAD) drafting has been traditionally used in CM education to facilitate the curriculum acrossvarious subjects including estimating quantity and cost, developing construction sequence andschedule, and analyzing site layout and safety risks1. While being widely used as a pedagogicaltool, it often requires some degree of students’ prior experience to interpret 2D CAD drawingssince students

The sequence oftopics, course sequencing, software licensing, and laboratory development will be discussed inthe paper along with a proposed project example. After students obtain these basic skills, theywill be able to graphically simulate and the operate construction process with spatial constructiondata in a simple, accurate, safe, and effective way. The prerequisite knowledge for these coursesand the way to bring industry practice into this course is discussed as well.IntroductionRecently, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) arebecoming increasingly useful and beneficial in construction engineering and management

While some comments suggest slowing down, others were asking for more exercises andexamples. Some of the comments also highlighted logistical issues related to the course.  “Some students are not fortunate enough to have computers/laptops, or the lab hours given are not sufficient enough”  “Have a smaller group of students per class…”  “I think there could be some collaboration

Studies indicate that smaller group sizes(less than 4) lack the diversity and varied expertise for collective decision making and largergroups (more than 6) do not ensure participation of all group members 4 Considering this, it wasdecided to limit the number of members to a maximum of 6 in each pod. The lab is equippedwith sophisticated computing systems to handle modeling and simulation exercises, LCDscreens, white boards and projectors with the capability of transforming any flat surface to aninteractive work surface. The main controls are handled by an instructor station which functionsas the centralized server, creating a local network for the lab.
