CSUEB School of Engineering is pleased to offer the Construction Industry Institute (CII) Best Practices course in Fall 2018. The course is facilitated by Dr. Akhavian and brings industry experts from CII member organizations to the classroom through distance learning technology. CII’s lecturers give students tremendous insights into best practices of the engineering and construction industry. CSUEB is the second CSU campus after SDSU offering this course along with 10 other universities including the UT Austin, University of Michigan, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Arizona State University, NC State University, Vanderbilt, and University of Houston.
Our paper entitled Automating Prescriptive Compliance Process for Building Energy Efficiency through BIM was accepted for oral presentation and proceeding publication at the 18th International Conference on Construction Applications of Virtual Reality (CONVR2018) .
In collaboration with the Julia Burke Foundation, Hands for Global Health and Hands for Americas nonprofits, and CSUEB Nursing Department, Dr. Akhavian and Dr. Gaedicke led a group of construction management students to build a semi-industrial chicken coop for an underrepresented local community in Panama. The project was part of a volunteer health care and sustainable food program that targets community health and food security in disadvantaged communities.
Our paper entitled Evaluation of Wearable Sensors to Quantify Construction Workers Muscle Force: An Ergonomic Analysis was accepted for oral presentation and proceeding publication at the 2018 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC).
