Teaching BIM Graduate Program in Project & Construction Management
CIVL 526 – Virtual Design & Construction
Core course in the Graduate program
This course explores BIM from a theoretical, technological and practical perspective. Students will be exposed to a variety of case studies and work with a variety of software tools. We investigate the application of BIM throughout all phases of the project life-cycle, with a particular focus on the construction phase. The course is divided into two modules focusing on (1) BIM-based Project Delivery and (2) Construction applications of BIM.

Module 1: BIM-based Project Delivery
BIM Fundamentals: Introduce approaches for modeling in 3D and representing civil engineering artifacts as 3D objects in a BIM environment. Investigate the many uses of BIM, and how to leverage these models for different purposes. Investigate different frameworks for thinking about BIM implementation.
Organizing BIM Projects: Study the full implications of BIM in terms of the project delivery, the organization of project teams, and the impact on project execution and turnover. Investigate the influence of project delivery methods on BIM implementation.
Planning BIM Projects: Explore how BIM can be used to support communication amongst the various stakeholders, and how to set up the necessary processes and protocols to leverage BIM across the project life-cycle.
Executing BIM Projects: Learn about BIM project execution planning and model requirements for different BIM uses. Investigate BIM project execution planning guides and apply these concepts for specific construction uses of BIM.

Module 2: Construction Applications of BIM
BIM for Construction Scheduling: Introduce 4D CAD and its application in construction planning, and explore process of creating 4D models. Investigate the modeling issues for creating different types of 4D models used for different purposes.
BIM for Cost Estimating: Discuss the basic techniques for generating different types of cost estimates (conceptual, preliminary, detailed, and bid). Explore how quantities are extracted from a BIM model to create a cost estimate for a facility design.
The Impact of BIM: Study BIM assessment frameworks and the different methods used to assess the impact of BIM.
BIM for Handover: Discuss how BIM can be used for managing and operating facilities. Identify interoperability issues with exchanging BIM information and understand emerging standards for information exchange.

Course Project
Students work in teams of four on a design-build bid proposal:
a 3D building information model
a cost estimate,
a conceptual construction schedule,
a 4D model, and a
detailed report that describes how you approached the project.

Teaching in a Civil Engineering Program Some reflections
Some of the challenges
Limited opportunity to ‘add’ more content into undergraduate engineering programs that are already overloaded.
Difficult to develop cross-disciplinary courses (with
mech, architecture, etc.) given the number of civil engineering students that could participate.
Difficult to deliver with large courses, which is the reality for many of our undergraduate courses.
Challenging to teach the process and organizational implications of BIM adoption.

Teaching the next generation Some reflections
And why I am optimistic
Students learn the technology quickly and are ready for the next thing. They accept that it is not perfect and make it work.
The next generation will really struggle with (or simply not tolerate) the current way of working (seriously, print out 2D drawings???).
Students are able to do way more than we teach them, for them there are no limits.
