International Conference on Construction and Real Estate Management 2016
A Tentative Study of the Correlation between BIM and Courses of Construction Management
Publication: ICCREM 2016: BIM Application and Off-Site Construction
ABSTRACT
The rapid development of BIM brings evolutionary technologies to the construction industry, as well as tough challenges. Insufficient BIM talents will be a barrier in fully performing the BIM technology. By analyzing major knowledge points involved in the construction management, the thesis puts forward two different principles which should be applied in setting courses for construction management major. The first principle is that, with regards to basic courses, BIM should be used to enhance students’ comprehension and understanding of basic knowledge points. The second one is that, for senior students who major in construction management, the focuses should be placed on improving their application ability in using BIM software and using BIM software to improve practical ability in engineering. Besides, the thesis also discusses the challenge that may be encountered by teachers in the BIM course reform process of construction management major.
