“…The application of DT cuts across different industries and aspects of human endeavours, making it possible for the same technology to be adopted for different purposes depending on the users' needs; the peculiarity of industry is therefore key in conceptualising DT. For example, Puolitaival et al (2018) while defining DT came to the conclusion that there is no consensus within the construction management discipline on the definition of DT. However, the study added that there is a long list of digital technologies used in the discipline which includes digital imaging, mobile solutions, monitoring and control technology, sensor technology, automated and digital fabrication, and digital project management (Puolitaival et al, 2018).…”

Similarly, in the field of education, DT is seen as the process whereby the teacher or learner uses digital equipment such as a computer (laptop, mobile phones, televisions, MP3 player or tablet) in accessing digital tools (like learning platforms and virtual learning environments) to improve their knowledge and skills (Sharif & Senin, 2020).…”

The strategic contributions of digital technology in the operations and performance of entrepreneurial ventures are a profound phenomenon, involving continual adaptation to a constantly evolving business environment. This paper examines the influence of digital technology on female-owned enterprises based on customers satisfaction in Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Nigeria. Survey research was employed to derive primary data through the use of structured closed-ended questionnaires from 113 selected female-owned enterprises registered with NECA's Network of Entrepreneurial Women (NNEW). Adopting digital orientation, digital capability and digital transformation as dimensions of the digital technology which is the independent variable, multiple regression was used to measure its impact on customer satisfaction as the dependent variable. Findings revealed that the awareness of digitalisation does not suffice to influence business performance, but adopting and adapting to new technology is crucial in creating value addition to meet and exceed customers’ expectations. Conclusively, this research establishes the requisite for female-owned enterprises to embrace and exploit the vast potential and significant role that digital technology plays in the enhancement of business performance, for improved strategic competitive advantage and economic development.

“…The perception of project teams toward VDC has been highly positive, as it supports trustworthy relationships and commitments, improves workflows, and integrates the generated information [7,8]. VDC has been applied as a support methodology in courses across the AEC industry, including sustainability and construction management [9][10][11]. Moreover, professionals using the VDC approach have better perceived their generic competencies, especially their collaborative skills [12].…”

Applying Project-Based Learning (PBL) for Teaching Virtual Design Construction (VDC)

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Learning-centered models, which rely on active methodologies such as Project-Based Learning (PBL), should be adopted in undergraduate programs to potentiate the development of collaboration skills within future industry professionals like civil engineers. Thus, this study reports the implementation of PBL in two successive Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) courses from an undergraduate civil engineering program: 1) VDC I, in which the VDC methodology implementation was applied theoretically in an already-built project, and 2) VDC II, in which the VDC methodology implementation was applied in a currently-under-construction project. The study's objective is to identify students' perceptions of PBL influence on their learning experience, degree of acquisition of generic competencies, and project development under the VDC methodology. To assess the PBL and VDC implementation, a survey was applied to measure students' perceptions of the three mentioned variables. Results show an increase in their perceptions about the benefits of implementing VDC and PBL for the generic competencies acquisition process by more than a third, compared to other studies which implemented Building Information Modelling (BIM) with PBL. This is due to the theoretical background of the VDC methodology in terms of collaboration, processes, and tools. Besides, VDC II students' perceptions of the generic competencies' development process, degree of learning, and project development improved by 6.13%, 7.15%, and 3.44%, respectively, compared to VDC I students' perceptions, which is owed to the natural interaction between students and stakeholders of the projects adopted.

“…VPM will encounter a lot of diversification challenges [68] and difficulties as follows, ▪ Language barriers [18, 69] ▪ Information duplication [23] ▪ Time differences [18] ▪ Cybercrime and security [70] ▪ Self-esteem and motivation [71] ▪ Cultural distinctions [72] ▪ Dispute resolution [18,48] ▪ Trust the team [61] ▪ Technical differences [23] vT The virtual team [73] should increase awareness [74], which leads to effective execution [75], ▪ Ability, efficiency, and completion [31] ▪ Communication skills [42,76] ▪ Leadership traits [63,77] ▪ Fear and Trust [14,78] The successful virtual team [6,79] focuses on project management areas aside from software collaboration [62], ▪ Performance evaluation [80] ▪ Functional management [31] ▪ Leadership style [34] ▪ Team trust [33,37] ▪ Design planning [7] It has been noted that fear of trust is always present in the team [33]. However, it's necessary to have a concrete policy and a mutual agreement within the group per project [52,78,81].…”

This 5D model research study gathers data and integrates existing research papers and related studies into this review. The goal is to reflect on the concept to realize this research and the issue and problems faced by previous research. Moreover, the industries' operational possibility, practicality, and applicability align with Industry 4.0 and the Digital Twin perspective. This paper presents an extensive literature analysis concerning the 5D model concept utilizing and integrating into one (1) platform with 3D CAD software during the entire project engineering construction stages, including operation and maintenance. The 5D model study focuses on platform development and innovation in a remote or virtual environment. The remote control and monitoring apply to project engineering/construction, plant operation/maintenance (OM), and system decommissioning. Specifically, Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Petroleum Refinery, etc. It will also include Building Information Model (BIM) related research study, especially in costing and scheduling development. Due to the limited and unavailability of data for a specific study, the 5D model concept is not everywhere. However, it has already been formulated from various perspectives of researchers, modelers, and software developers in different stages. The researcher brings together related topics like virtual project management (VPM), virtual team (vT), data management system (DMS), web-portal system, building information modeling (BIM), cloud-based software (CBS), project triad, multi-structure & scale, lean construction, safety, quality, google earth, control/inspection, and remote-control monitoring, 3D model design, and computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). The study review of the 5D model concept within the specific area is evaluated, analyzed, and summarized in the below, figures and tables. It concluded that the effective implementation of the idea increases competitiveness, high safety, quality, and performance. Moreover, it does not duplicate another research study on this 5D model concept. However, the relevant topic's idea may be improved, optimized, and innovated to realize this concept and better application.
