Construction Education  \nCAROLINE CLEVENGER  \nUniversity of Colorado Denver Denver, CO  \nCARLA LOPEZ DEL PUERTO University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez Mayaguez, PR  \nAND  \nSCOTT GLICK  \nColorado State University Fort Collins, CO  \nABSTRACT  \nThis paper documents and assesses the development of a construction safety training module featuring interactive, BIM-enabled, 3D visualizations to test if such a tool can enhance safety training related to scaffolds. This research documents the technical challenges and the lessons learned through the development and administration of a prototype training module in a required undergraduate construction safety course at Colorado State University. Student feedback was strongly positive, and findings suggest that such an innovative teaching method may be more effective than traditional teaching methods based on pre and post knowledge-testing. Such research highlights future opportunities to develop more extensive and advanced training modules using interactive, BIM-enabled, 3D visualization techniques in support of safety training within construction education.  \nKey Words: Construction Education, Safety Training, Interactive Learning  \nINTRODUCTION  \nOpportunities exist to improve construction safety training. In 2012, there were 775 fatalities in the private construction sector (BLS, 2013) . A comparison of fatality rates regularly ranks the construction industry among the three most dangerous in the United States (Abudayyeh,  \nWINTER 2015 1  \nADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION  \nInteractive BIM-enabled Safety Training Piloted in Construction Education  \nFredericks, Butt, & Shaar, 2006), and in 2012 construction had the highest number of fatalities when compared to any other industry sector (BLS, 2013) . Furthermore, fatal and non-fatal injuries and illness rates in construction maintain high levels despite focused attention by the industry on safety procedures and programs (Abudayyeh, et al. , 2006) . Such data suggests that there is a lack of successful communication regarding safety procedures, hazard identification and sitespecific conditions on construction sites. Of particular concern to industry are workers who have limited worksite experience, such as interns and recent construction management graduates, who are more likely to get injured on the worksite than workers with more experience. (OSHA Young Workers, n. d. ) .  \nResearchers have begun to investigate opportunities to integrate Building Information Modeling (BIM) into construction education. According to a survey of 101 Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) programs in the United States in 2009, Becerik-Gerber, B. , Gerber, D.J. , & Ku, K. (2011) found that 60% of the construction programs, 56% of architecture programs, and 38% of the engineering programs have infused BIM concepts into traditional courses and design projects. Specifically, BIM provides the opportunity to virtually demonstrate concepts to students using familiar 3D visualizations, and preliminary research has shown that visualization may enhance the students’ ability to conceptualize and understand construction concepts (Clevenger, Glick, and Lopez del Puerto, 2012) .  \nBIM technologies are being used in a variety of areas to assist in issues related to construction health and safety including: (1) Design for safety; (2) Safety planning (3) Safety training; (4) Accident investigation; and (5) Facility and maintenance phase safety (Rajendran and Clarke, 2011) . In addition, Lucas and Thabet (2008) suggest that interactive (CAD-based) training offers a chance to teach real life events in a virtual environment with an effect of reducing injuries and fatalities. Recently, researchers have begun to investigate the use of BIM to enhance construction safety planning ","cbCaisvgMpxVpam6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisvgMpxVpam6","pdf",1172987,14,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Purpose of the Research","[{\"question\":\"What does the paper evaluate about BIM-enabled safety training?\",\"answer\":\"It evaluates how an interactive, BIM-enabled 3D visualization module can enhance safety training related to scaffolds.\"},{\"question\":\"Where was the prototype training module developed and administered?\",\"answer\":\"The module prototype was developed and administered in a required undergraduate construction safety course at Colorado State University.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the key outcomes from student feedback and the assessment approach?\",\"answer\":\"Student feedback was strongly positive, and the findings suggest the innovative teaching method may be more effective than traditional instruction using pre and post knowledge testing.\"},{\"question\":\"What future directions does the research suggest?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights opportunities to develop more extensive and advanced BIM-enabled, interactive 3D visualization training modules for safety training in construction education.\"}]","Interactive BIM-enabled Safety Training Piloted in Construction Education - Winter 2015 | PDF",1792067368,35]
