Abstract
AbstractThe growing building information modeling (BIM) application in the construction industry worldwide has driven research in both the technological and managerial aspects. Existing managerial ...
Highlights
BIM (i.e., Building Information Modeling) studies that have high impacts in the research community are mostly focusing on technical aspects including BIM application and implementation (Yalcinkaya and Singh, 2015)
Others included a variety of different non-civil engineering (CE) disciplines, such as building services engineering, architectural technology, and architecture, etc
This study aimed to address the insufficient research of investigating individual perceptions of BIM industry practice from AEC students’ perspective, in terms of BIM’s usefulness in multiple AEC professions, desired BIM-related industry jobs, and challenges encountered in BIM practice
Summary
BIM (i.e., Building Information Modeling) studies that have high impacts in the research community are mostly focusing on technical aspects including BIM application and implementation (Yalcinkaya and Singh, 2015). There have been some existing BIM-related studies addressing the individual perceptions towards BIM practice and implementation (Howard et al, 2017; Jin et al, 2017a; Jin et al, 2017b). These individual perception-based studies in BIM were mostly limited to AEC (i.e., architecture, engineering, and construction) industrial professionals (e.g., Ku and Taiebat, 2011; Panuwatwanich et al, 2013; Sacks and Pikas, 2013; Lucas, 2017), without sufficiently addressing AEC (i.e., architecture, engineering, and construction) students, the future employees in the industry.
