Work in progress - Assessing information literacy in civil engineering

Although information literacy is not specifically mentioned in the ABET outcomes, the development of these skills is essential to the achievement of several outcomes. Civil Engineering faculty at the United States Coast Guard Academy (USCGA) have developed performance indicators and assessment tools under existing ABET outcomes designed to develop and improve student information literacy skills...

Sensing methods in civil engineering for an efficient construction management

Sensing methods including Non-destructive testing and monitoring techniques are fundamental tools for performing an efficient condition management system for structures in service. They can on one hand support regular visual inspections and help on the other side to assess the actual condition and performance of a building. These methods provide reliable data for the stakeholders to estimate th...

BIM functions for optimized construction management in civil engineering

Purpose The aim of this study is to suggest configuration methodologies of active building information model (BIM) functions that enable to practically control limitations by optimizing schedule overlapping linked to its space models after analyzing workspace conflict analysis for a bridge model. This study also suggests development methodologies of active BIM-functions, linking an optimized me...
