Engineering Education, 2017 Introducing an Advanced Building Information Modeling Course in Construction Management ProgramsAbstractMany construction management (CM) programs in the U.S. have introduced BuildingInformation Modeling (BIM) in their curriculum due to the rapid adoption of BIM in thearchitecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. Previous research has revealed thatmost of the BIM courses offered in CM programs have mainly focused on 3D modeling skills aswell as BIM applications in 4D scheduling and 5D estimating. While these topics appear to beimportant to apply BIM technology, students will not be able to fully understand the BIMprocess in a construction project without knowing the fundamental workflow
