Students are expected to generate three-dimensional (3D) models by mentally visualizingall project components and supporting task sequences. Students with little or no practicalexperience find such exercises challenging, spending unnecessary time developing and scheduling3D digital models. This research investigates 4D implementation based on an Industry-Academiccollaboration in the classroom. 4D allows connecting schedule activities with an industry-provided3D model to use data to understand the project timeline and build a building during the constructionphase.Furthermore, a real-time construction schedule with all the project components to visualize a

Furthermore, some of these professional development activitiesare also conducted in large group settings with students from other research programs beyond theREU cohort. The rationale behind combining REU students with other researchers is to create acommunity of learners and provide them with an opportunity to build/extend their professionalnetwork. Although professional development activities are an integral part of the REU sites, thereis often very limited coverage of such activities in the existing literature on REU projects. Thispaper presents the impact of professional development activities on the experience of REUparticipants in a manufacturing REU site at a

This gap can create issues when scoping out a projectand creating an opportunity for students to gain an authentic research experience (i.e., learn aboutthe research process and obtain valuable research results) [8]–[10]. An additional obstacle is theamount of time university researchers need to commit to catching students up on a particularresearch topic. This creates less time for students be involved in the research project and mayultimately lead to students feeling left out of the research community and removing them from theSTEM pipeline.

Students are usuallygiven individual assignments and are not exposed to group work/projects until theirsenior year. This type of traditional instructor-centered teaching process has proven to beless effective as compared to the use of active and cooperative learning methods.Transforming passive and individualistic learning into active learning is the mostchallenging form of teaching.
