Students taking these BIM class gain knowledge of using BIM for projectacquisition, construction planning, and project control.One of the best ways to teach students BIM is to provide them with an opportunity to put theirhands on it. Unlike other subject matters, it is not easy to pick up the BIM skill unless they havea chance to use BIM applications. In order to understand how BIM can improve productivity inconstruction, students need to get exposed to several BIM applications and learn how to create a3D model, how to detect clashes between building components, and how to create a 4Dconstruction sequence to visually present the construction schedule.
