Location: Buckhead room
Students are expected to know how to leverage technology on their projects as they enter their internships and first jobs after graduation. This session will include an overview of Procore's functionality and our educational resources available to all professors. We will also be focusing on how to leverage student certifications for industry employers, as well as the ASC Construction Expertise Exchange – a website being built in conjunction with ASC faculty members to share content & expertise among a broad network of educators. We will also provide information on how to access additional Procore resources, such as our community user groups, construction career board, and continuing education courses.
Leveraging Technology to Optimize All Your Dimensions
and Build for a Sustainable Future - Presented by RIB
Wednesday April 20th, 2022
10:00AM to 11:00AM
Location: Buckhead room
Before a building project’s physical construction, RIB Software will talk about the use of the MTWO Construction Cloud platform to run detailed 6D BIM virtual simulations, connecting the 3D BIM model with time factor (4D), cost information (5D), and carbon factor (6D), so that stakeholders can optimize the design, schedule, and carbon emission in the virtual building phase.

Drones for Construction Education
Bringing the Drone Technology to the Construction Management Classroom
Presented by Dr. Joe Burgett (Clemson Univ.) ,Dr. Masoud Gheisari (Univ. of Florida), and Rebecca Lehman (DroneDeploy)
Wednesday April 20th, 2022
1:00PM to 4:00PM (parallel track)
Location: Caddell Building Flex Space
Drone adoption in the construction industry has significantly increased over the last few years for various types of applications, from site surveying and mapping and progress monitoring to building inspection, safety monitoring, and structures maintenance. It is expected that this trend continues and more drones will be integrated into the construction domain. To better equip construction students for the increasing demand for drone use on construction job sites, educators need to integrate this technology into their curriculum. The goal of this hands-on workshop is to demonstrate how drone technology can be incorporated into a construction management curriculum. First, the current status of drone use in the construction industry will be discussed and the benefits, challenges, and safety considerations of such integration will be reviewed. Then a hands-on demonstration of drone flight, data collection, and analysis will be provided and various hardware and software tools will be introduced that can be incorporated into a construction management curriculum. Finally, the workshop will allow for discussion among programs that are already using drones and provide an opportunity to share experiences, best practices, and new perspectives.
