2. What is the BMSC Training Center Construction Management User Interaction Full Scale Model

3. BMSC

4. Construction Management Changes More emphasis on planning instead of controlling More pre-active instead of re- active construction management

5. Construction Management Training Not adequate for the new type of construction manager On the building site Dependent on the project and on the trainer Difficult to measure acquired knowledge and expertise

6. Course System: Project data Project Score Rule Exercises Transition Type Activity

7. Transitions Transition types (7) : Project dependent Activities (100) : Project independent If All(Activity) = Fulfilled then Transition = OK If Activity(i) = Fulfilled then Activity(j,k,..)=OK Scores : Ranges

8. Course System: Trainee data Score Rule TraineeSession Log Record

9. System Requirements Minimal data entry effort Maximal data reliability Maximal data accuracy Minimal trainer’s interference

10. BMSC course system Building site Site hut Control room

11. BMSC floor plan

12. User interaction Communication console (PC) VR model on parabolic screen Actors: role play of truck driver, etc.

13. Student interface

14. Teacher interface Log record of trainees’ actions Scenario for actors Television monitors

15. Training evaluation Transition types > Activities Evaluation aspects: Time, Cost, Quality, organization, Information > Scores Construction knowledge > Expert Management knowledge > Expert

16. First Experiences Pro High level of realism Intense courses Toolkit is very generic Con Communication console in no substitute for phone Unforeseen actions are missing
