Introduction of BIM Methodology in Structural Engineering Education | Chapter 2 | Technological Innovation in Engineering Research Vol. 4

The technique BIM, or building information modelling, has been adopted by the construction industry as a whole. Understanding which components of the project can change with the deployment of BIM is crucial since the structural design is a component of a construction project. There is still considerable opposition to the structural project, which is understandable given the tools for structural assessments and BIM modeling's imperfect compatibility. The research shows how BIM may be used on structural projects to enable the creation of the three necessary sequential stages: the creation of the structural model, the production of the analytical model to conduct the structural analyses, and the detail of the reinforcement. Several readily accessible programmes were utilised to assess the compatibility of BIM systems, including ArchiCAD, ETABS and Revit. The goal of this study is to evaluate the degree of trust in data transmission procedures. This study highlights the primary technique of using BIM-based tools, the primary benefits of using the methodology, and some of the drawbacks mostly brought on by the lack of effective interoperability. The paper outlines the methods used to develop two projects based on actual instances. The purpose of the study is to further the use of BIM in structural projects.

Assessment of Exams at Atenea, an IMS LTI Application for Scalability Problems | Chapter 05 | New Visions in Science and Technology Vol. 11

 In 2004, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya modified its online teaching support platform. The previous proprietary programme was replaced with Moodle, an open source platform. The whole university community, particularly those responsible for providing support for the online teaching support platform, was put to the test by the population's confinement at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. As a result of the increasing activity and the likelihood of the generalisation of online assessment, concerns regarding probable scalability difficulties with the quiz functionality during the examination period developed. Using Moodle's IMS LTI interoperability features, a high-performance version of the Moodle Quiz Module As A Service (SaaS) was deployed to plug-and-play within the university's LMS without relying on internal resources. The goal of this research is to examine the solution, which includes a systems strategy, private cloud operations, internal communication, and teacher training, that allowed a university course to be assessed in a constrained space.

Application of Data Analytics in Building a Game Theory Model for Social Networking Sites | Chapter 5 | Emerging Trends in Engineering Research and Technology Vol. 7

The application under this research work is an extended form of the previous study performed on two giants of the social networking sites viz. Facebook and Instagram. This study includes the perception of young generation towards these two social networking sites. For this, a homogeneous group of students on a local college campus are used as the sample. An additional feature of Interoperability which plays an important role in exchange and make use of information between these two platforms generates a 8x8 game theory model. The study begins with the data analytical tools based on the survey of the students. The reliability of the questionnaire, formed on the basis of interactive parameters, is tested by using an appropriate reliability test-Cronbach's alpha test. The graphical and descriptive statistics gives the initial trends among the students. The regression analysis is carried out for all the combinations of eight parameters of both Facebook and Instagram, where the intercept data is collected as payoff values. This leads to the formation of the two player Game theory model. As the final result, the optimum strategies of each player and the value of the game is calculated. The interpretation of the calculated values reflect the influence of decision making for the optimum strategies under the game theory model.
