Theory and practice of BIM skills of construction management professional based on conceive–design–implement–operate engineering teaching mode

Abstract

AbstractBuilding information modeling (BIM), as the core technology for digital transformation and development of the construction industry, is in vigorous development. This study analyzes the current situation of teaching BIM to construction management professionals in universities. Based on the CDIO (conceive–design–implement–operate) engineering education concept, a new teaching system of BIM technology for construction management professionals is proposed. It is composed of a diversified teaching mode of implanting BIM technology in professional courses, establishing a school–enterprise cooperation platform, expert linkage, BIM team construction, skill competition, and transformation of scientific research achievements, and provides a reference for the reform of practical teaching. It is proved that this education mode improves students' learning enthusiasm, engineering practice ability, solidarity and ability to solve practical engineering problems, cultivates outstanding talents in BIM technology, drives students' employment, and provides innovative talents in BIM technology needed for the development of the construction industry.
