    Our new article entitled "Development and Application of an Industry Foundation Classed-Based Metro Protection Information Model" has been published online in "Mathematical Problems in Engineering". Based on the BIM technology and IFC standard, the paper proposed a metro protection information model (the MPIM). Then a metro protection system was developed to implement the MPIM-based model integration and provide assist in preliminary evaluation of external projects via the information-rich MPIM. The system was applied to Guangzhou Metro's Modiesha Station to Xingangdong Station. Resutls indicated that the utilization of the MPIM in metro protection workflow could improve working efficiency and save time obviously. Management staff claimed that the application of the system saved more than 40% of the time for project evaluation.

    Our new article entitled "Research on IFC-based Storage and Application of Sensor Information" has been published in "Journal of Graphics", 2018, Vol. 39, No. 03. In this paper, IFC-based sensor information storage method and application process are presented. Specifically, the description and association mechanism of sensor information in IFC are analyzed, followed by the extension of IFC property set to achieve the storage of such information. Finally, the IFC-based application process of sensor information is described. The proposed methods were applied to the HuaiFang Water Reclamation Plant in Beijing for validation.

    Totally 154 students graduated from the Department of Civil Engineering and the Department of Construction Management this year (2017.10-2018.7). About 8% students joined in the design and scientific research institutes, about 15% students in the construction enterprises, about 22% students in the real estate enterprises and about 20% students in the financial investment of construction enterprises. 5 students joined in the government departments. Peng Yang, the fourth master student under my supervision, successfully passed the thesis defense with the topic of "A self-Learning Dynamic Path Planning Method for Evacuation in Large Public Buildings Based on Neural Networks and BIM". Gloriously, he also won the title of "Outstand Graduates in Tsinghua University". Congratulations to Peng Yang!
