Description
The BIM 360 products provide project teams with a range of options for project collaboration that differ from the traditional ways of conducting business and can intimidate new users. This class will focus on the development and advantages of a collaborative learning exercise between industry partners and academic institutions, with the goal of exposing students to real-world collaborative experiences they will face as they begin their careers in the architecture, engineering, construction, and owner-operated (AECO) industry. Learn how industry partners have the opportunity to push the boundaries of their BIM 360 utilization in a no-risk environment, while affording new employees valuable experience. Academics Nathan Blinn and Dr. Raymond Issa-with David Epps, director of construction technology for Winter Construction-will share their experiences with BIM 360 software, while providing a customizable blueprint for the development of your own BIM 360 learning exercise, complete with lessons learned and learning objectives.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to plan and execute collaborative BIM 360 learning experiences based on varied levels of involvement and difficulty
- Understand the potential for mutually beneficial in-situ training in a low-risk environment through industry and academic collaborative experiences
- Learn how to outline and avoid common barriers to collaboration, from both industry and academic perspectives
- Discover the benefits of industry and academic partnerships, while encouraging goal-oriented solutions for real-world problems
Speakers
- NPNathan Blinn, PhDNathan Blinn is a PhD Candidate at the University of Florida M.E. Rinker, Sr. School of Construction Management, with industry working experience as a virtual construction engineer, and as a technology consultant. After obtaining his bachelor’s degree from Roger Williams University, where he was first exposed to the world of VDC technology, and his master’s degree from the University of Florida, he has followed a passion for virtual construction technologies and their effective integration into the AECO industry during his doctoral studies. He has published work in the fields of augmented reality, unmanned aircraft systems, reality capture technology, and the impact of various technologies on pedagogical techniques and the education of future AECO professionals. Furthermore, as a researcher in the Center for Advanced Construction Information Modelling at UF, he aided in the development of the course “Reality Computing for Design and Construction” through the Autodesk Design Academy.

Raymond is also a member of or active in several other organizations including ASCE, API, Sigma XI, and CIB W78.
- DEDavid EppsDavid Epps has worked in the construction industry for over 20 years, and he has facilitated construction processes on more than 200 projects on and off the job site via Building Information Modeling (BIM) and virtual design and construction (VDC) since 2002. He plays an integral role in departmental and company training, recruiting efforts, research and development, and the continual development and refinement of company and industry BIM standards and processes through focus groups and industry presentations. For the past several years, he has focused on the integration of BIM and related advanced technologies into the construction process on job sites in an effort to train teams in the use of BIM, mobile technology, laser scanning, and the benefits of VDC. He has spent the past 7 years implementing laser scanning technology hardware and software on multiple projects. Epps wrote, submitted, and facilitated the successful acquisition of one of the first FAA exemptions for use of drone and unmanned aerial vehicles on construction projects.
