Over the past twenty-five years, Mr. Gibbons has gained vast experience in architecture through designing, developing construction documents, construction administration and working with clients, consultants & contractors through all aspects of a project’s life cycle. He has worked on projects big and small, and has gained experience in small business ownership through developing his own consulting business in both architectural and technological services, specifically in BIM and Revit. Mr. Gibbons has been in project management for over fifteen years, and this experience provides him with crucial input regarding BIM-related development and procedures. As a BIM manager, he works with company leadership to provide support, training, and assistance for staff, consultants and clients to maximize the development of all projects. Mr. Gibbons has consulted and led BIM/Revit efforts of various architecture and engineering firms throughout Michigan, Ohio, California, and Utah. He has a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Michigan where he went on to initiate and teach the Revit and BIM classes for both students and faculty there. His experience gives him a rounded approach to the best practices in assisting firms work with their clients while also helping projects reach their fullest potential. Personally, every chance he gets, you’ll find Mark working on a home improvement project, helping a friend build their house, or out in his workshop building.

Green Paving Professor of Practice at Florida International University
Dr. Ali came to FIU with more than 21 years of civil engineering experience, mostly in pavement design, analysis and construction. He joined the CEE faculty in December of 2011 as green paving professor of practice and is working to advance the new green paving initiative of Florida International University.
Dr. Ali earned a master’s degree in Transportation Engineering and a Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from The City University of New York. He has spent much of his career in the transportation sector focusing on pavement evaluation, pavement engineering and consulting for various public and private employers, including a role as highway research fellow for the U.S. Federal Highway Administration. Additionally, Dr. Ali has participated in the delivery of hundreds of roadway and airport construction projects in New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Florida.
Recently, Dr. Ali served as an executive at the Florida Department of Transportation, where he worked for more than a decade and participated in the delivery of $3 billion of highway construction and maintenance projects.
Dr. Ali is especially interested in geotechnical engineering and the technical development and promotion of pavement recycling. In his role at FIU, he is conducting externally-funded research and development on green paving methods, including pavement recycling and use of innovative paving materials.
Dr. Ali has previously served in higher education as a member of the Florida Atlantic University Civil Engineering Department’s Technical Advisory Committee and as graduate research assistant at the CUNY Institute For Transportation Systems. He has published more than 30 papers and is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Transportation Research Board and the Association of Asphalt Paving Technologists, among other organizations.

Dr. Dawson is in his 12th year as a pavement, geotechnical, and subsurface utility engineer with NTH Consultants, Ltd. (NTH). He has a wide background in pavement research, management, and design. He has completed research projects for the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) involving pavement design, material characterization, maintenance, and management. He has participated in and led numerous projects which have included pavement surface and structural evaluations, geotechnical explorations, subsurface utility engineering (SUE), and transportation utility coordination. Dr. Dawson’s geotechnical design experience includes earth retention, embankment, road sign and signal, ITS structure, bridge, and other deep and shallow foundations using LRFD and other techniques. He has also led several geophysical investigations to locate buried structures/utilities and subsurface voids.
