“…In order to prepare engineers to meet these new challenges, engineering training and education in China must be revised and modernized. The researchers of this paper will look at the contributions that can be made to CEM education, and will place emphasis on establishing teaching at the university level with an attempt to integrate the industrial capability needs to improve the overall quality of curriculum and education in construction [9].…”

“…Numerous studies also reviewed the current status of BIM training and its respective elements to meet the needs of industry and align with the expectations of new and challenging job demands [7,[9][10][11][12][13][14].Those elements include single BIM curriculum integration, BIM curriculum guidelines, and BIM teaching methods. Therefore, BIM-driven knowledge domains may require a pedagogical shift by way of integrating training of industrial BIM capabilities with related business and management curricula, and include supportive insights from both university faculty and industrial professionals.…”

Abstract:Higher education ought to support the identification of training needs for industrial building information modelling (BIM) curriculum development and sustainability education in the fields of civil engineering and management (CEM). This paper proposes a framework based on a four-phase step-by-step quality function deployment (QFD) application for CEM curriculum planning and quality management. The framework attempts to respond to requests collected from 17 professionals and professors in order to integrate BIM into the higher education curriculum in China with a specific focus on construction management programs accredited by the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE). The entropy method and a K1-K6 scale adapted from Bloom's revised cognitive process were employed to evaluate the CEM curriculum in QFD. The proposed framework was successfully applied to CEM curriculum planning, which included two curriculums of the four main knowledge areas provided by the Chinese CEM guidelines: construction cost and flow construction. Two curriculum areas showed that content should focus on knowledge such as (a) Program evaluation and review technique(PERT) planning; (b) construction optimization in flow construction; (c) principles of bill of quantities and (d) construction consumption in construction costs. As for teaching quality management in China, the higher education curriculum should focus on three aspects to promote curriculum integration: (a) pedagogical design; (b) teaching resource and material and (c) curriculum assessment. This research sheds light on the pedagogical shift to a similar context that has established guidelines accredited by the ACCE, with respect to reviewing curriculum planning from a knowledge system perspective in order to meet industrial demands at the operational level.

Abstract. The construction industry is considered to be a conservative industry, and, looking back into the history of the industry, modern digital tools have only started to play a role in a relatively recent period, but have already managed to significantly change the design, construction and management processes, their specifics, as well as the necessary competencies of the parties involved. This is mainly due to the third technological revolution, especially during the last two decades, when the extremely rapid development and availability of solutions of information and communication technologies has taken place. At present, in the private sector, companies operating in project supply chains (material manufacturers and suppliers, designers, builders) in the private sector can use the benefits of technology to increase their competitiveness and profitability. However, in Latvia, due to the public sector's order quantity and the fact that the demands on the project execution process are conservative in these orders, companies have so far been passive in introducing innovations. Companies in the supply chain of construction projects are not the only ones who can benefit from the use of new technologies. Among the winners are project contractors in both the private and public sectors. Therefore, it is necessary in construction study programs of universities to integrate BIM training by improving the content of the study program in accordance with the new demand. The research task is to find out the necessary knowledge, skills and competences of the graduates of university for working in so complicate managing process. It is also important to find out how to improve the study program according to the new and complex view from the first steps of construction to the operation of the building.

Reyes, Paloma Prieto, Juan P. Cortés, Alonso Candelario Advances in Building Education RESUMENUn gran número de estudios indican que la necesidad de profesionales con conocimientos BIM está sufriendo un rápido crecimiento. Este crecimiento está dando lugar a problemas en la implantación del BIM en el sector, siendo el principal de ellos la falta de formación de los técnicos en este ámbito [1][2][3][4]. Las enseñanzas universitarias actuales, se fundamentan en la adquisición de habilidades por parte del alumnado. En línea con las exigencias del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior que denomina competencias a las habilidades a adquirir por el alumno. En este trabajo se trata de exponer la experiencia docente de la implantación de la tecnología BIM en la asignatura de proyectos. Esta asignatura tiene carácter obligatorio para las tres disciplinas del Grado de Ingeniería Industrial. El objetivo es deducir si el uso docente de la tecnología BIM facilita la adquisición de conocimientos y mejora la comprensión de la asignatura. La educación BIM debe centrarse en el desarrollo de los conocimientos básicos, habilidades y actitudes de los estudiantes [5]. Además, hay que enfatizar en la necesidad de que los técnicos de la industria de la construcción tengan habilidades como la colaboración, comunicación, liderazgo y la gestión de cambios, junto a habilidades técnicas relacionadas con BIM [6]. El mundo académico tiene un papel importante en la transformación de la industria impulsada por BIM [7]. Mientras que las entidades gubernamentales y el sector privado utilizan BIM para la nueva construcción, los programas universitarios han sido mucho más lentos en incorporar la tecnología [8]. Las universidades se están quedando detrás de la industria de la construcción en cuanto a la adopción de la tecnología BIM en la formación de los alumnos [9]. Realmente lo que se evalúa en este trabajo son precisamente los beneficios y dificultades que ha supuesto la implantación de la tecnología BIM en el desarrollo de la asignatura. C...
