“…This is to increase their understanding on how BIM can improve various factors of construction management and keep them updated with the latest BIM software throughout university learning [9], [21]. In the study, the researchers created contents of each teaching module to expose the core construction concepts while showcasing leading industry best practices [22], [23]. At the end of the result, the module could engage a high level of spatial cognition and critical thinking among the students with its interactive and visual nature.…”

Building Information Modelling (BIM) education is gaining more attention from various parties such as government, industry, and academicians. Many universities have integrated BIM into their curricula by using various approaches and teaching methods, but there is no commonly accepted approach to teaching BIM in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) programs. This research aims to identify the level of BIM literacy among students in higher education institutions and its correlation with the components of BIM learning and the outcomes of BIM learning progress. A quantitative method was adopted where Partial Least Square -Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis was used to analyze the data. Questionnaires were distributed to the respondents for data collection. A total of 33 respondents were chosen, consisting of second-year undergraduate Construction Management students at Universiti Sains Malaysia. The results were analyzed by using SPSS and SmartPLS 3. SPSS was used to study the correlation between variables, whereas SmartPLS was used to conduct other tests such as the path coefficient, bootstrapping, coefficient of determination (R-squared), effect size (F-squared), collinearity statistics (VIF), inner and outer VIF value, outer loading and outer weights. From the result findings, it was found that the respondents have less knowledge of the BIM software. The respondents also felt neutral toward improving their CGPA through BIM courses. Results showed that 3D parametric modeling and outcomes of BIM learning are correlated. For future research, the focus can be shifted to other BIM competencies, such as the managerial, functional, technical, and support aspects of BIM.

“…The index of dissimilarity used was the Jaccard index. The optimal cluster number was chosen with the elbow curve method using the evolution curve of the clustering criterion (Figure 5) [21,47]. With 2 clusters, the minimum value is the within-cluster sum of squares, and the maximum value is the between-class sum of squares.…”

“…In this context, adequate interoperability between BIM and building energy modeling (BEM) is essential to integrating the digital world in the construction sector and, therefore, to increasing competitiveness through cost savings [19]. New technology tools as BIM produce changes in the curriculum of AEC disciplines and in educational student perceptions [20][21][22][23]. The students' perception of BIM implementation in a School of Industrial Engineering at different phases and levels shows the use of BIM as a methodology that eases collaborative work [21,23].…”

This paper develops an assessment of an academic implementation of building information modeling (BIM) carried out in an expert project subject of a School of Industrial Engineering. The objectives were for the students discover sustainable industrial during the design process and the students understand and participate in a real process of the implementation of industrial projects through real collaboration between academic and business contexts. The outcomes of this academic initiative were evaluated using academic results as well as students’ perceptions. Academic results were analyzed using the FUZZY VIKOR method. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine whether the use of BIM, the proposed university-enterprise environment and the sustainability proposal rate of the students’ projects had statistically significant effects on the results. Students´ perception evaluation was based on a Likert survey with five levels, and the results were interpreted using fuzzy k-means clustering and classification tree analysis. The results show that 77.8% of students consider that for learning, it is more effective to carry out a project related to an existing company, with the realization of the project with BIM methodology being of great value. The sustainability aspects were applied more easily thanks to the proposed methodology, and they were positively valued by the company.
