AbstractThe worldwide Corona pandemic and its consequences on teaching had also severely restricted student projects in the higher semesters of engineering courses. In order not to delay the graduation, a new concept had to be developed for projects under lockdown conditions like social distancing and working from home. It should also be a real problem rather than another sample project. Therefore, unused rooms at the university should be digitally recorded in order to develop a new usage concept as practical training and laboratory rooms with current plans. An inventory of the actual state of the rooms was done first by taking photos and listing up all flaws and peculiarities. In the next step, a digital site measuring was done with a 360° laser scanner and these recorded scans were linked to a coherent point cloud with special registration software. By transferring these data to a software for planning technical building services and supporting Building Information Modelling (BIM), a three dimensional model was created, in which the complete technical design of components was implemented. In order to better illustrate the difference between the actual and target state, two virtual reality models were created so that the difference can also be "experienced" with virtual reality glasses. During the 5 months of the project, the students had to go through the entire digital planning phases. Technical specifications had to be complied with, as well as documentation, time planning and cost estimate. Because of extended corona restrictions, the graded project folder replaced the final written exam. This project turned out to be an excellent alternative to on-site practical training especially under lockdown conditions and increased the students’ motivation to deal with complex technical questions. Most students preferred dealing with typical problems during a planning and construction process than waiting for lockdown to end. |
