Building Information Modelling
Integration to the curricula
Dr Patricia Tzortzopoulos FazendaUniversity of Salford, UK
Challenges for adoption
Obstacles for BIM adoption– Misunderstandings of BIM concept (Kymmell, 2008)
– Lack of skills in industry (Young et al 2008; Sacks and Barak 2010)
– Role of BIM as a tool/method in education and industry is not yet fully understood (Clevenger et al 2010)
– Small number of universities teaching integrated BIM
Need for education and training programmes
How to integrate BIM to the curricula?
BIM at the centre of the processes– Architecture? Multidisciplinary?– From modelling to management?
What do Practitioners want from BIM Education?
Rafael Sacks and Paul Teicholz
Main issues identified:
1. BIM is a Technology
2. BIM is a Communication Medium
3. BIM is a Collaborative Process
4. BIM requires an understanding of real-world Building Construction
5. The Building Model should serve Multiple Perspectives
Approach at the University Salford
Three main themes: Sustainability, BIM, Lean
BIM principles – Basic design, analysis and communication tool– Focus on concepts & (lean) process changes
On-going activities– PG: MSc programme ‘BIM and Integrated Design’– UG: Integrate BIM teaching in Multidisciplinary
Project (MDP) module
MSc BIM and Integrated Design
Programme Aims•Advanced knowledge on lean, integrated design processes with the use of BIM technology•Educate those involved with designing and managing (complex) re/development of built environment •Develop managerial, technical and interpersonal skills to deliver better value through design
Managerial skills
Technical skills
Interpersonal skills
MSc in BIM and Integrated Design
Focus
What BIM means for the different professions
Integrated design concepts and potential benefits
Implementation issues in practice
Use of analysis and simulation tools
Sustainability issues supported by BIM
Case study projects
Extensive set of tools available for students– Practical use of tools based strongly on extensive tutorials
available in the university network
Opportunity for professionals from different domains to study together
PGCert
PGDip
MSc
BIM & Integrated Design Modules
Teaching modes – virtual studio-based design with tutorials; block seminars and workshops; live
case study projects, real clients and projects
Field trips– Field trip to at least one innovative project developed with the use
of BIM-lean
Summer school– 2-day event including seminars, group working and student
presentations
Salford study days– Workshops
International dimension –international case studies
Guest seminars by leading edge practitioners
Special Features
Final remarks
There is a big push for adoption BIM is technically mature for uptake Efficient BIM-based processes are still under
development There are learning needs in practice Main benefits of BIM are in communication,
integration, testing and validation The main issue is a change in processes, not
technology
Thank you
