Title	CIVCAL. The virtual site visit
Authors	The University of Hong Kong Kumaraswamy, Mohan
Keywords	Architecture Buildings
Issue Date	2002
Description	CIVCAL is a comprehensive web-site, designed as a multimedia educational package to support undergraduate teaching and learning in civil engineering and building & construcion. It facilitates 'virtual site visits', bringing 'the field' to the students, to compensate for the increasing difficulties in taking students to the field. CIVCAL contains photographic images, animations, video clips and other devices with explanatory text that aim to convey useful experiences from past and present Hong Kong construction and engineering services sites. Four universities contributed to the development of the site. The University of Hong Kong provided 13 projects and 12 topics covering 6 disciplines; Hong Kong University of Science and Technology developed a comprehensive site on the Strategic Sewage Disposal Scheme; City University of Hong Kong developed a Virtual Building Construction Environment with 3 examples of prefabricated construction; the Polytechnic University of Hong Kong developed 6 case studies on aspects of building construction. construction, environmental engineering, geology, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, structures, water, waste-water, civil engineering, building, transportation engineering See plug-in requirements on web-site Designed for undergraduate Civil and Building Engineering students. To enhance the learning and teaching of Civil and Building Engineering through ready access to virtual experiences on a variety of construction sites. 1. To enable virtual site visits. 2. To provide multi-media enhancement of teaching and learning material. 3. To provide supplementary material for courses in Civil and Building Engineering
