Updated 6/25/09: Please note that the Main Navigation Bar at the top of the screen will direct you away from the Academic Sub-forum website and to http://www.bimforum.org main page. The only way for this to be avoided would be to disable to Navigation links but I would rather not lose that functionality at this time. If you happen to be redirected to the BIMForum website simply re-enter http://www.morse-eng.com/ at your web browsers address bar. Thank you. (EJM)

Welcome to the New Academic Sub-forum Website

The AGC-BIMForum conference held at Las Colinas, TX on May 27th-28th gave the Academic group the opportunity to hold a productive and well focused breakout session. The group, headed by Guillermo Salazar of Worcester Polytechnic Institute of Technology, concentrated on the planning, development, and implementation of Case Studies through the use of an Online Educational Resources website. This website will act as a test platform that will eventually be turned into a working prototype with the goal of presenting the site at the next AGC-BIM Forum Conference in Philadelphia, PA on October 8th & 9th.

This site will be updated periodically and all revisions will be listed on the Home page. The primary goals for the upcoming weeks will be to add several pages for the various case study topics that will be presented. In addition, any "dead' links will be addressed and an attempt will be made at getting the search functionality up and running.

In order to make this website a viable source of information for college and universities world-wide we will need your help! I ask that any and all questions, comments, or concerns be directed to Hongwu Yang (CEE CMS-IT Assistant) at hongwu_yang@wpi.edu.
