Sketch-up to complete course work [6]. In a recent study, procedures of using bothAutodesk Revit and Vico Virtual Construction Software Suite [7] to fulfill specific body ofknowledge (BOK) for the ConE education were presented [8].However, there are few studies conducted to investigate how one BIM solution can fulfill ConEBOK. This is a significant constraint hindering the use and adoption of the BIM technology inConE curricula.To address this issue, this paper is to answer the following main research questions: 1. What are the limitations of most widely used BIM software packages? 2. How to use the selected BIM software package(s) to fulfill specific body of knowledge (BOK) for the ConE education?MethodologyIn this study, a BIM model

Professional Development (ECPD and today’s ABET)quickly implemented changes that resulted in a shift from the practical aspects of engineeringthat were taught in the laboratory to an increased emphasis on theory and basic science.2In the 1970’s with the completion of the moon mission and the cancellation of major engineeringprojects such as the supersonic transport, engineering education saw a significant decline infunding and as a result, many schools reduced laboratory requirements to save money. At thesame time, industry demanded more practical skills and in response, many education institutionsdeveloped technology programs. The boundaries between engineers and technologist becameblurred and so ECPD began to accredit two and four year programs

grades represent instructor evaluation of students and have been usedpervasively for probably as long as there have been universities. In contrast, the acquisition anddissemination of student evaluations of their instructors and courses have arisen relativelyrecently, from student-based efforts in the 1960’s. Many universities now incorporate evaluationresults in faculty salary and promotion decisions, and nearly all major U.S. universities regularlycollect such data. (Ory 1990, Seldin 1993) Students are probably the best resource universitieshave to assess instructor performance; they experience all aspects of many courses and thus cancompare and contrast such experiences. Moreover, aggregation of their responses provides alarge data set

assessment processes in engineering technologyprograms has been spearheaded by the TAC/ABET accreditation agency1. Most engineeringtechnology schools recognize the need to develop an assessment program if they are to maintainaccreditation. An important criterion in any such program is the demonstration of appropriatemastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of the students’ disciplines. Mostprograms attempt to demonstrate this within the learning objectives of a particular course. Rarely isan attempt made to verify such mastery of the prerequisite(s) for that particular course. At IUPUI,we have been doing this for the past three semesters, going on a fourth, in our Thermodynamics IIcourse.The assessment of prior knowledge and

Tennessee, Knoxvillecampus (UTK) as detailed below.Since the early 1970’s The University of Tennessee, Knoxville had offered an undergraduateEngineering Science (ES) Program BME option. This option program was built around acurriculum concentrated in mathematics and the engineering sciences (mechanics of solids andfluids, thermal and material sciences) and featured 18 hours of technical electives. Toaccommodate students having interest in the field of biomedical engineering, several BMEfaculty were hired and five undergraduate and two graduate BME elective courses weredeveloped and were offered regularly over a period of more than twenty-five years. During therecent past, it was noted that 80% or more of the 80-100 students enrolled in the
