The Definition of BIM Engineering Competencies Based on Literature Analysis

ABSTRACT

As the application of BIM technology in projects becomes widespread, the required BIM engineering capability of related technical engineers is also increasing gradually; therefore, establishing a BIM engineering competency enhancement system becomes necessary to provide an industry standard for talent cultivation in associated fields. Based on the literature analysis, this paper determines the connotation of engineering capability, identifies the critical elements of BIM engineering capability enhancement, and establishes the element system of BIM engineering capability enhancement.
