BIM has a potential use in all stages of the project life-cycle: it can be used by the ownerto understand project needs, by the design team to analyze, design and develop the project, bythe contractor to manage the construction of the project, and by the facility manager duringoperation and decommissioning phases [15]. Looking to the future leads to speculation that BIMwill eventually lead to a virtual project design and construction approach, with a project beingcompletely simulated before being undertaken for real [16].

When a person seesobjects in 3D space, the two eyes converge to focus on an object of interest (e.g., the chair inFigure 2-a) and another object (e.g., the cube) appears shifted differently in the retina of left eye(Figure 2-b) versus right eye (Figure 2-c) due to binocular disparity. Even if the two eyesreceive the different images respectively, our brain not only

Once an acceptable system is established, the local government is all that is needed to be convinced, with no need for any more guerrilla builders. Student B: Allen and Woelfle-Erskine need to at first come up with a slightly more qualified system as opposed to bathtubs. The idea is great of course, but working with a company like Rewater might be a good place to start in developing a cheap system that isn't $7,000, but is slightly more defined than pvc pipe into tubs and barrels. After they come up with a solid system then they should look into applying to change the code in whichever way

control of workhazards, and (b) interpretation of safety regulations [. In construction safety classes, students areoften asked to demonstrate their hazard recognition abilities by taking and critiquing on-site Page 26.1675.3images, or reporting a job site visit. Visits to construction sites are unique experiences thatcannot be completely replaced by other learning methods. However, they come with a number ofconstraints (sometimes even safety hazards) and cannot be arranged as often as needed [12].Many of the key technical principles that students should learn can be illustrated through casestudies [20]. Normally, these cases can help students
