“…Finally, one study published in 2023 [ 41 ] aimed to evaluate predoctoral dental students’ CAD/CAM-related education, knowledge, attitudes, and professional behavior; moreover, the relationships between years in dental school and other variables were contrasted. A total of 358 dental students from 17 of the 68 US dental schools (25%) participated in a web-based anonymous survey.…”

The goal was to assess dental students’ perception of digital technologies after participating in a CAD/CAM exercise for scanning, designing, and manufacturing computer-aided provisional fixed dental restorations. A survey was conducted among second- (pre-D2 and post-D2), first- (D1, negative control), third-, and fourth-year dental students (D3 and D4, positive controls). Only OSU College of Dentistry students who completed the activity and completed the surveys were included. Seven questions were rated, which evaluated changes in knowledge, skill, interest, the importance of technology availability in an office, patients’ perception of technology, the importance of having the technology, and the expected frequency of clinics utilizing the technology. Statistical analysis was performed with a significance level of 0.05. A total of 74 pre-D2 and 77 post-D2 questionnaires were completed. Additionally, 63 D1, 43 D3, and 39 D4 participants responded to the survey. Significant differences were found for “knowledge” and “skill” between the pre-D2 and post-D2 and pre-D2 and control groups (p < 0.001). There was a significant difference between the post-D2 participants and all the controls in terms of “interest” (p = 0.0127) and preference for in-practice technology availability (p < 0.05). There were significant results between the post-D2 participants and all the controls regarding the importance of technology availability in an office (p < 0.001) and the expected frequency of clinics utilizing the technology (p = 0.01). No significance was found for “value of technology to patients” and “the importance of having the technology”. The presence of technology in practice and in educational academic environments significantly improved students’ interest and perception of their knowledge and skill.

“…These methods help identify the sequence of crucial and non-critical tasks, enabling project managers to accelerate project delivery by optimizing task sequences. For example, by identifying the critical path, managers can allocate additional resources to critical tasks to prevent project delays [5]. Quantitatively, the CPM can be expressed through a mathematical model that identifies the longest path of planned activities to the end of the project, and the earliest and latest that each activity can start and finish without making the project longer.…”

The integration of Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Building Information Modeling (BIM), and Internet of Things (IoT) with Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a transformative shift in the architectural and engineering practices for large-span structures. This paper delves into the quantitative and qualitative enhancements brought about by these technologies, focusing on their pivotal roles in design precision, structural analysis, project management, and maintenance strategies. CAD's evolution from simple drafting to complex 3D modeling has significantly reduced design time and errors, while its integration with structural analysis software has improved load distribution accuracy and material cost efficiency. BIM's contribution to design, construction, and sustainability emphasizes optimized resource allocation and energy-efficient practices. Furthermore, IoT and AI's role in real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance underpins a proactive approach to structural health, ensuring longevity and safety. Through statistical analysis, mathematical modeling, and case studies, this paper highlights the synergistic impact of these technologies on reducing project timelines, enhancing collaboration, and fostering innovation in large-span structure engineering. The findings advocate for a multidisciplinary approach, combining engineering expertise with advanced computational tools to achieve superior outcomes in the construction and maintenance of large-span structures.
