Sara is an Architectural Technology undergraduate student at the University of Brighton. She researched the current state of BIM implementation in the Egyptian construction and design industry.
Luke is a Building Surveying undergraduate student at the University of Brighton. She researched the current state of BIM implementation in energy retrofits in the South of England construction and design industry.
Varsha was part of the STEM Educational Gaming Research Group. Her work is currently working on evaluating the educational impact of the Design Review Simulator. In particular, her work focuses on understanding the meeting of learning objectives of undergraduate students.
Gilberto was part of the Immersive and Interactive Research Group. He is validating a decision making framework for the development of interactive workspaces. The framework is designed to support professionals and academics by guiding them in choosing the technology and purpose of the workspace.
Eduardo was part of the Lean Construction Research Group. He is supporting the validation of an individual assessment instrument which developed so practitioners could assess their knowledge and efforts in implementing Lean principles, develop self-awareness, and self-regulate their journey.
Inez was part of the Immersive and Interactive Research Group. In her project, Inez has set forward the goal of evaluating a large number of BIM Execution Plans to evaluate a set of guidelines for the development of BIM Execution Plans.
Rupinder was part of the Lean Construction Research Group and has worked on the collection and statistical analysis of data from the Lean Learning Health Assessment tool. Her work will be submitted to the Engineering Project Organization Journal in 2018.
Nawar was part of the Lean Construction Research Group. His work focused on the application of Lean analysis methods to minimize wasteful activities in the installation of curtain wall systems. His work illustrated the potential of leveraging video time studies to reduce the curtain wall installation cost by over $200,000. His work was presented to the 2017 Lean Construction Institute Congress in Anaheim California.
Bassam was part of the Immersive and Interactive Research Group. His work focused on analyzing the impact of leveraging virtual prototypes in gaming engines to conduct design reviews. Based on his research, he was able to illustrate that by leveraging virtual prototypes, versus 2D drawings, the number of requests for information reduced significantly. His work was published and presented at the 2018 Construction Research Congress in New Orleans Louisiana.
