Most of the challenges are from the faculty, students, and resources of CM programs:1. Lack of available faculty to teach BIM5, 16, 35. Due to the high demand of BIM experts in the AEC industry, CM programs may not be able to hire competent new faculty who have been specifically and extensively trained with BIM in their education or industry experience. To many current CM faculty and particularly senior faculty, BIM is a new technology that requires a large amount of time to get familiar and then proficient.
