Abstract
Since the international governmental institutions required and/or recommended (according to the regulations of each country and continent) all public works to be certified in the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology, public and private institutions and universities have sought to integrate BIM into their production and educational processes. This requires the university academic environment to focus its efforts on training students in this methodology, as they will need to apply it in any future work activities related to architecture and construction. This article seeks to analyze which methods are being used by higher education institutions around the world to integrate BIM implementation in AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) degrees and to determine if a set of regulatory guidelines exists that could serve as a common foundation for institutions to improve this integration process. To this end, a systematic literature review was carried out on WOS and SCOPUS by applying the PRISMA statement methodology. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected based on keywords, abstracts, and full content of the articles. In the end, 23 articles were thoroughly studied, the integration and evaluation methods analyzed, and results obtained. The analysis shows a consensus on the need to develop common academic guidelines across university centers that define a strategy for curriculum modifications and teaching and learning strategies. Finally, future lines of research are identified.
Highlights
Introduction and BackgroundBuilding information modeling (BIM) is a working methodology for the management of building or civil works projects, in which all the agents involved in the process work collaboratively and throughout the life cycle of the building [1,2,3,4]. BIM technology has existed for more than two decades, implementation in construction processes has been relatively slow
The study focuses on university education for are fields in the same sector (AEC) degrees, the field in which BIM implementation is required by industry
At the end of 2018, the Council of Ministers approved by Royal Decree 1515/2018 the creation of the Inter-Ministerial Commission for the incorporation of the BIM methodology in public procurement to give new impetus to the BIM implementation process in Spain [59]
Summary
Introduction and BackgroundBuilding information modeling (BIM) is a working methodology for the management of building or civil works projects, in which all the agents involved in the process work collaboratively and throughout the life cycle of the building [1,2,3,4]. BIM technology has existed for more than two decades, implementation in construction processes has been relatively slow. In the Scandinavian region, countries such as Norway, Denmark, and Finland are world leaders in BIM adoption. They launched universal guidelines for the industry with the aim of establishing a standard in the European Union, and their development has had worldwide interest. They invest heavily in research and development [5]. Other countries such as Singapore, Australia, Brazil, and China have promoted initiatives, standards, and strategies to effectively implement BIM. We can consider that the European Parliament and Council Directives 2014/23/EU and 2014/24/EU of 26 February 2014 on public procurement established the need to use electronic systems in procurement processes for works, services, and supplies, as of September 2018 [10,11]
