Submitting BIM to the Educational Plan for the Faculty of Architecture According to NARS and ARS Standards

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has imposed itself as a powerful engineering and technological tool over time. It's even become mandatory in some countries (UK) and is gradually gaining more and more awareness worldwide. Although that, BIM education is still a new concept even in some countries that are already implementing it in their various engineering and construction projects. This research aims to conclude with an educational plan and curricula for the faculty of architecture that contains BIM as the core of it. The methodology used in this research is the online-structured questionnaire, distributed to students and staff of the faculty of architecture at Al-Baath University which is the case study of this research. Architecture faculty undergraduates and graduates with different degrees were surveyed by an online-structured questionnaire, and the results of the questionnaire were gathered and analyzed using google forms. This study concludes with the proposed modified plan and curricula for the previously mentioned faculty in the light of the theoretical study, questionnaire results, and similar experiences around the world. This new plan is expected to prepare a new generation of architects who are High-tech qualified and fully aware of BIM and its general ideas, which makes it easier for these architects to emerge within the job market and fulfill AEC firms' requirements of course this would also help to promote the university's reputation and help to spread BIM education among other local universities and also to other engineering competencies.

A Novel Intrusion Detection Framework Combining Light Feature Engineering, GAN-Based Feature Generation, and Attention-Driven Deep Learning for IoT MQTT Security

MQTT-based Internet of Things networks face major security problems because they have high-dimensional data, class imbalance, and no detection mechanisms that can be understood. This paper proposes a unified intrusion detection framework that integrates attention-based deep learning, GAN-driven data augmentation, and MDA-based feature selection (CNN-LSTM-Attention). The proposed pipeline outperforms both classical and recent state-of-the-art baselines. When tested on MQTTEEB-D, a real-world MQTT dataset with 200,000 flows, an accuracy of 99.12% and macro F1-score of 98.37 were achieved. However, the attention maps provide clear explanations for the obtained prediction, and the system performs well even against tough attacks such as SlowITe: 96–98%. Moreover, the system's very short inference time makes it possible to deploy on a real IoT gateway with limited resources. The synergistic combination of feature engineering, generative augmentation, and interpretable deep learning sets a standard for reliable and effective IoT/MQTT intrusion detection.

Engineering Training and its Importance for Building Information Modelling

The AEC industry in Syria is facing different issues, such as poor management and performance, and the increase in costs of change orders due to the poor implementation on site. These reasons made the issue of training engineers an urgent demand to become qualified to enter the engineering labor market and help implement the construction projects the right way, especially that the reconstruction phase might take place in the near future. In the last decades, BIM proved to be of  a great help for engineering projects for it can integrate work withing projects and help engineers in all the project phases to introduce sound models and documentation with less time and more efficiency.  In this article, a survey has been used to measure different parts of engineering work reality to know how it would serve Syrian engineers in applying modern technologies and methodologies, like BIM, in their projects. This research would provide more knowledge about the engineering reality in Syrian companies, and thus it would open the door for preparing plans and strategies to get the Syrian companies more involved in adopting new technologies and methodologies, especially BIM, in their projects and training. The research showed that Syrian educational bodies need to allocate more time and effort to qualify engineers and help them keep up to date with the latest technologies. Also, Institutes are taking a huge amount of time to implement the digital transformation. All that is due to the lack of engineering and technological knowledge and experience that is influencing the AEC sector in Syria, where most engineers didn’t experience working in new-technology-and-methodology-based projects. This research is a sample from the work that is being done to survey greater segments from all the Syrian governorates, with the analysis of the engineering training and its importance in adopting BIM and digital modeling.

Proposing a Framework for Introducing the Concept of Engineering Digitization to Develop Curricula: Case Study - Tishreen University, Faculty of Civil Engineering

The emergence of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology has made a major development in the fields of engineering and construction and has provided a means for documentation and design management throughout the building's life cycle. Despite this, the construction sector suffers from a clear shortage of specialists equipped with work skills, and therefore there is a gap and lack of skills. In order to meet the future needs for the skills of using (BIM) technology in the labor market, it was necessary to take serious steps to introduce BIM in education programs in Syrian universities to prepare future specialists, so this study aimed to identify the current reality of teaching Building Information Modeling (BIM) and to identify obstacles and challenges that prevent the application of (BIM) and propose a framework for introducing the concept of engineering digitization to develop curricula at Tishreen University, Faculty of Civil Engineering. The study used the descriptive survey method, and to collect data, two questionnaires were developed, which were applied to a sample of (32) faculty members from all disciplines of the Faculty of Civil Engineering. The study also used the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) program to analyze the results of the questionnaire. The study showed a positive awareness of the culture of building information modeling among the various disciplines of civil engineering, despite the presence of many challenges and obstacles facing the implementation of BIM, and the study provided a general framework for the integration of building information modeling (BIM) technology with curricula The most important recommendations indicate the need to enhance awareness of the BIM culture and its applications by offering specialized training courses for academics in the use of modern technological tools based on BIM as an effective educational tool that can be integrated into the teaching curricula.

Neutrosophic Environment and E-Learning: An Investigation into Student Satisfaction and Attitudes in the College of Engineering

Ever since the transition to online learning, students from across the globe have familiarized themselves with the use of e-learning. This research paper aims to investigate students’ attitudes towards e-learning and measure students’ level of experience in using the e – system among students in the College of Engineering in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Furthermore, this paper explores the predictors of students’ perceived satisfaction with the e-learning system quality that is integrated to facilitate e-learning. Descriptive analysis and stepwise multiple regression were chosen to achieve the paper’s objectives. Data analysis demonstrated that Engineering students showed a positive attitude towards the e-learning system and were identified with high self-efficacy and a high level of experience in using the e-learning system. In addition, multimedia instructions, self–efficacy, and e-learning system quality were found as significant predictors of students’ satisfaction with the e-learning system; however, the interactive learning activities as a predictor of perceived satisfaction did not reveal any statistical significance. Also, this paper used the DEMATEL method to analysis the student attributes and compute the weights of the attributes. The DEMATEL method is a MCDM method due to the attribute of student are neuromas so the concept of the MCDM is used. The DEMATEL method integrated with the neutrosophic sets. The neutrosophic sets is used to overcome the uncertainty and the vague data.

Quality Assurance of Construction Design and Contractual Phases in Syria Within BIM Environment: A Case study

Globally, the Quality Management System Research in the construction sector has not received sufficient attention compared to the industrial sector. The modern construction industry is known as complex due to magnitude of the projects on one hand, and the diversity of the works included in the project, on the other hand. The establishment of projects is no longer limited to the implementation of a few types of work or activities in the project. However, it is increasing in response to the overall technical and urban development of life, and to the increasing requirements of the beneficiaries of these projects. Projects nowadays are integrated and complex systems of different works and contracts, which are connected with each other to perform the overall function of the project, which, in return, has evolved as well as its qualitative content. This research aims to improve the quality of design, and contracting phase of the State Company for Engineering Studies in Damascus’s projects, by examining the current reality of practices and methods in quality management during the designing stages and pointing out its weaknesses. Determining the factors affecting the quality of the contractual phase of the company, through a survey published online. Twenty-two engineers working in the company have responded.

An Optimization Model for Assessment Resilience Engineering in Social Technical Organizations as a safety Management Paradigm

 An innovative safety administration paradigm, resilience engineering (RSE), is becoming more popular in today's sociotechnical organizations. It is thought that the properties of complicated social and technical structures better align with RSE. Especially when it comes to measuring and modeling, RSE is much more difficult due to its various criteria character and the inclusion of both qualitative and quantitative latent components. Using the extant neutrosophic TODIM (Portuguese of interactive and multi-criteria decision-making) approach, this study seeks to create a neutrosophic mixed multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework for assessing and evaluating resilience. Several indicators of resilience were defined as part of the first assessment methodology. After that, the neutrosophic TODIM technique was used to assign relative importance to the various resilience indicators and to rate the effectiveness of the various operational units. As an illustration of the model's efficacy, we conducted a risk assessment of a gas refinery, a prototypical sociotechnical structure.
