Building Information Modeling (BIM) Technology Education for the Needs of Industry in Developing Countries

초록

Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology is now globally accepted as a means of creating a knowledge-based construction industry that uses 3D (or more) visualization and simulation techniques to improve business efficiency. However, developing South Asian countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines have yet to introduce BIM technology, largely due to a lack of appropriately trained professionals. Many countries need to develop the necessary environment and curriculum to teach BIM-related knowledge and skills and thus produce skilled construction professionals capable of implementing this technology. Using a systematic course approach, we developed a BIM course that was specifically designed to address the needs of both those entering the profession and construction companies in developing countries. In addition to understanding the applicability of BIM for construction projects, newly qualified professionals will appreciate the advantages and prospects of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) systems and BIM technology, as well as the importance of cooperation. The new course will support the development of accomplished professionals with the BIM skills needed by construction companies in today's competitive market.
