- Abstract:
The increasing use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a tool for communicating design intent in the architecture engineering and construction (AEC) industry has increased the demand for BIM related instruction in Construction programs. For this reason, the importance of including BIM tools in courses is greater now than ever. However, due to limited course time and the great amount of applications and hardware available, it is important to select those tools that have the potential to provide a better user experience, which may lead to enhanced student learning. This article discusses the results of research undertaken to evaluate various hardware options and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) modes that may be beneficial for teaching with BIM related applications in construction education environments. Interactive display technologies have the potential to greatly enhance the educational experience of students, and will provide faculty a tool that can facilitate teaching construction concepts in a more visual and interactive manner.
