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

Most, if not all,Construction Engineering and Management undergraduate and graduate programs require thatstudents complete construction cost estimating courses as part of their core curriculum.However, the value of estimating the owner’s planning, design, and procurement costs during thepreconstruction period is not typically included in the Construction Engineering andManagement curriculum.

As a result, BIM education in CMprograms has been given more emphases, and a number of CM programs in the U.S. haveincorporated BIM contents in their curriculum through various strategies. While recent studieshave suggested that integrating BIM into existing CM courses is

In addition to general outcome criteria prescribed for all engineering relatedbaccalaureate programs, construction related programs must also demonstrate achievement ofoutcomes specific to construction.

This schism has prompted industry, government, and other key constituents to questionthe relevancy and efficacy of current programs. The Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) Engineering Criteria 2000 and the American Council for ConstructionEducation (ACCE) emphasizes outcomes over process, and provides an opportunity forstakeholders to help universities define educational goals and objectives and design a curriculumto meet the desired outcomes .

This interaction has been a common element of the course for overthree decades.Structure of Capstone CourseCE 469 is a capstone course that involves an integrated team approach to the design of theconstruction process and uses computerized tools for cost estimation, planning, scheduling,process design, and management of two construction projects

They must be able to be innovativein design and execution, utilizing creative thinking along with understanding math and scienceprinciples. They must also be able to work within multidisciplinary teams of other industryprofessional and communicate effectively across those disciplines [4-7].Another driving factor is that Engineering and Construction Management (CM) programs arealso being required to change to meet the requirements of the accreditation bodies [8-12]. “TheCouncil on Post-Secondary Accreditation in the US Department of Education has mandated thataccrediting agencies use outcome assessments in evaluating their programs.
