TY - CHAP A1 - Fruchter, Renate A1 - Chao, Yunn Chyi T1 - AEC Global Teamwork: Emergent Work Processes N2 - This ethnographic study reports on emerging work processes and practices observed in the AEC (Architecture/Engineering/Construction) Global Teamwork program, i.e., what people experience when interacting with and through collaboration technologies, why people practice in the way they do, how the practice fits into the environment and changes the work patterns. It presents the experience of two high-performance typical but extreme AEC teamwork cases adopting and adapting to collaboration technologies and how these technologies in practice impact their work processes. The findings illustrate the importance of collaboration technologies in cross-disciplinary, global teamwork. Observations indicate that high performance teams that use the collaboration technologies effectively exhibit collaboration readiness at an early stage and manage to define a “third way” to meet the demands of the cross-disciplinary, multi cultural and geographically distributed AEC workspace. The observations and implications represent the blueprint for yearly innovations and improvements to the design of the AEC Global Teamwork program.

Auf Großbaustellen kann die effektive Kontrolle nicht mehr ohne technische Hilfsmittel durchgeführt werden. Die Arbeit stellt verschiedene Szenarien für die verteilte Fortschrittserfassung vor und untersucht welche Anforderungen an ein System für die verteilte Erfassung gestellt werden. Dazu wird zuerst das bestehende CVS-System analysiert, um anschließend daraus ein Konzept für die Versionierung von Objekten und den automatischen Abgleich von Objektversionen zu entwickeln. Später wird gezeigt, wie dieses Konzept mit Hilfe von C# und dem Microsoft®-.NET-Framework umgesetzt werden kann.

Most students in these fields spend the majority of their college years working on individual projects that do not build teamwork or communication skills. Collaborative Design Processes (CDP) is a capstone design course where students from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Florida learn methods of collaborative design enhanced by the use of information technology. Students work in multidisciplinary teams to collaborate from remote locations via the Internet on the design of a facility. An innovation of this course compared to previous efforts is that students also develop process designs for the integration of technology into the work of multidisciplinary design teams. The course thus combines both active and reflective learning about collaborative design and methods. The course is designed to provide students the experience, tools, and methods needed to improve design processes and better integrate the use of technology into AEC industry work practices. This paper describes the goals, outcomes and significance of this new, interdisciplinary course for distributed AEC education. Differences from existing efforts and lessons learned to promote collaborative practices are discussed. Principal conclusions are that the course presents effective pedagogy to promote collaborative design methods, but faces challenges in both technology and in traditional intra-disciplinary training of students.
