The Civil Engineering Department at the College of Engineering, Al-Mustaqbal University, organized a scientific workshop entitled “Computer Vision in the Construction Sector: Site Safety Monitoring, Progress Tracking, and Integration with Building Information Modeling (BIM).” The workshop was presented by Assistant Lecturers Zahraa Hussein Mohammed and Farah Hamid Abdulkhudhur, targeting second-year students in the Civil Engineering Department. The workshop addressed the role of computer vision and artificial intelligence technologies in advancing the construction sector through the use of cameras and intelligent systems to monitor construction sites, verify workers’ compliance with personal protective equipment requirements, identify potential hazards and accidents, and track project progress by transforming on-site images into accurate digital data. It also highlighted the importance of integrating computer vision with Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its role in improving engineering project management, detecting construction deviations, and enhancing safety and efficiency at construction sites. Furthermore, the workshop explored the future prospects of smart construction and the application of digital technologies in construction projects. The workshop aimed to familiarize students with modern artificial intelligence applications in civil engineering, enhance their understanding of the importance of digital transformation in developing engineering project execution and management methods, and connect academic knowledge with the rapid technological advancements in the construction industry. This workshop is part of the Civil Engineering Department’s ongoing efforts to strengthen students’ engineering knowledge and keep pace with modern technologies that contribute to advancing engineering practices and achieving the requirements of sustainable and smart construction.
