“…Different authors have promoted a collaborative environment for introducing BIM into undergraduate and postgraduate courses, with some success [12,18,19,[28][29][30]. However, most documented cases of the academic implementation of BIM focus primarily on the implementation strategy [29], the tools in use [30], or the industry's perception of this implementation in the university setting [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], with relatively few studies on students' perceptions of this implementation [40][41][42][43][44]. The present study analyses the implementation of BIM within a collaborative learning methodology for curriculum subjects at an industrial engineering school.…”

Featured Application: This approach allows the assessment of building information modeling (BIM) implementation in the formal teaching system, taking into account the student perceptions of BIM in the engineering project course.Abstract: The building information modeling (BIM) methodology is becoming a mandatory requirement in the development of projects within the world context. Consequently, technical schools have been introducing BIM in their curricula. The present study aims to evaluate student perceptions concerning the advantages and difficulties of incorporating BIM into the formal teaching system as part of the degree in industrial engineering. Students' understanding and satisfaction were analyzed while using BIM in the development of the practical component of a didactic industrial project. The evaluation was based on a Likert survey with five levels, and the results were interpreted using a factor analysis and ascending hierarchical classification. To identify possible relationships between student satisfaction with the BIM implementation and the factors obtained, a multiple regression analysis was performed. It was determined that students have a high perception of BIM utility and consider the use of the BIM tool that is intuitive and easy to learn, including during the autonomous learning process. The results show a direct correlation between the benefits of BIM implementation in industrial projects and the advantages of defining teamwork within collaborative projects. The incorporation of BIM as a mandatory subject in the industrial engineering curriculum appears to be successful, and the results are encouraging.

“…Similar issue is discussed by Raiola (2016), who advocated that individuals work competently with BIM software associates within the industry. In another study, Zhao et al (2015), as cited by Elliott et al, (2019) found that the skills of maneuvering BIM and related technology are the skill sets most expected by the industry. Another recent study by Ismail et al, 2019) also highlighted that graduates with good technical skills in using Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Naviswork Manage, and Microsoft Project could benefit from future employment.…”

“…The programmes in the United States mostly focus on BIM to enhance their students' basic or intermediate knowledge of BIM, the purpose being to facilitate their adaptability with the rapidly changing technologies in the industry (Hallowell et al, 2014). Elliott et al (2019) note that partnering with the industry can provide the necessary skill sets and knowledge of the BIM manipulation model and benefit the graduates. Hence, a curricula programmes should enhance graduates' relationship with the industry and allow them to harness their skills to undertake BIM-related projects.…”

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become an essential tool for improving construction methods in delivering projects. Yet, much BIM-related expertise is needed to achieve the performance quality of the projects. The Malaysian Construction Industry Transformation Plan (CITP) 2016-2020 under the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) highlights that the government is beginning to follow the BIM for level 2 by 2020. The move was to improve the adoption and implementation of BIM among the practitioners in the construction industry. The government initiatives have raised the importance of BIM skills and knowledge among practitioners to facilitate successful implementation of BIM-related projects. This paper reports the findings of a thematic review analysis of skills that need to be harnessed from architecture graduates in preparing them to undertake BIM-related projects. Publications from 2010-2020 were analysed by means of a thematic review. Findings from the code-to-document review using ATLAS.ti 8 identified the BIM skills needed from an employee. This paper contributes to analysing the BIM skills indicated from the published papers hence the avenue for future studies on BIM graduates' preparation prior to entering the labour market in Malaysia.
