Currently anumber of BIM software packages are available to ConE educators. However, guidance to selectan appropriate BIM software and an understanding of how this software can be used to instructaforementioned requirements is minimal to nonexistent. This paper seeks to address thesechallenges by developing a BIM model of a case study building using one of the most popularBIM solutions, Autodesk Revit products and Navisworks, and a commonly used schedulingsoftware,. 4D simulations and clash detection of the BIM model are performed. And theprocedures of achieving the 5th dimension of the BIM model, cost estimating, are recommended.This paper outlines strengths and limitations of software packages used in this study and anotherBIM solution, Vico Virtual Construction Suite, and presents a suggested work flow for a futureBIM course. The findings of this paper have tremendous potential to directly benefit ConEeducators by providing a template to integrating BIM into an existing course or implementing astandalone BIM course within construction engineering curricula throughout the country.KeywordsBuilding Information Modeling (BIM); construction engineering (ConE); Body of Knowledge(BOK); Autodesk Revit; Navisworks; Vico

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
