professionals isleading universities to adapt their curricula and provide adequate BIM training for the next-generation professionals. 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. The existing research may have

mission of West Point was toproduce technically trained officers capable of designing and developing infrastructure duringboth wartime and peace. The War of 1812 catalyzed the need for competent engineering-mindedmilitary officers and West Point was authorized to hire its first professor of engineering in 1813,Captain Alden Partridge [1]. After then, civil engineering topics, to include instruction on thedesign and construction of roads, bridges, canals, and fortifications, were included in the WestPoint curriculum. These topics, coupled with cutting edge courses in subjects like mathematicsand physics, helped make West Point one of the foremost scientific institutions in America forthe first half of the 19th century. By 1860, of the eight

In general, studentsfound the SWIVL-Hyflex modality the most effective, about 5 points higher than RemoteSynchronous. However, ADV assessed Remote Synchronous slightly more effective,approximately 2.5 points. A paired T-test was not conducted due to small sample sizes and thedesire to continue this longitudinal study. These values are within the 5% error and may beinconclusive to determine a superior instructional modality.

; BackgroundThere exists a great variety of research communities which aim to improve engineeringeducation through innovative, evidence-based practice. While many of these researchcommunities work to develop new educational strategies with great success, there appears to be amissing link: that between the dissemination of evidence-based educational strategies and theiruse in an actual educational environment. Although new pedagogical methods continue to bedeveloped, tested, and published, instructors can often struggle to fit them into their classrooms[1]-[3]. This gap is influenced by a few factors: resources available to faculty members [4]-[6], afaculty member’s willingness to make changes to their pedagogy [7]-[8], and the social networks(or lack

While it is true that student ratings contribute essential information, ithas been demonstrated that they are insufficient for a thorough and accurate evaluation ofteaching. [1, 2]Many colleges and universities are working to develop better ways to evaluate teaching. [3-5]Peer evaluation, in a variety of forms, is used by many institutions, however, these evaluationscommonly lack critical analysis. Teaching portfolios, in a variety of forms, are also common asa tool for teacher reflection. Yet, because existing methods generally still lack substance or aretoo labor intensive, efforts to develop better processes continue.Several years ago, administrators and faculty
