  1. Building Information ModellingIntegration to the curricula Dr Patricia Tzortzopoulos Fazenda University of Salford, UK

  2. 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

  3. How to integrate BIM to the curricula? • BIM at the centre of the processes • Architecture? Multidisciplinary? • From modelling to management?

  4. Whatdo Practitionerswant from BIM Education?Rafael Sacks and Paul Teicholz Main issues identified: • BIM is a Technology • BIM is a Communication Medium • BIM is a Collaborative Process • BIM requires an understanding of real-world Building Construction • The Building Model should serve Multiple Perspectives

  5. 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

  6. 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 MSc BIM and Integrated DesignProgramme Aims

  7. MSc in BIM and Integrated Design Interpersonal skills Managerial skills Technical skills

  8. 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

  9. BIM & Integrated Design Modules PGCert PGDip MSc

  10. Special Features • 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

  11. Final remarks • There is a big push for adoption • BIM is technically maturefor 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
