Therefore, it is necessary to educate and change construction stakeholders’attitudes toward sustainability.Higher education for construction and architecture students is an ideal mechanism for changingthe paradigm and practices because the students become the leaders in the construction industry[4, 9, 10 & 11].

The growing trend, especially in larger companies, is that mostmembers of a construction team will access a virtual building model in some fashion during thecourse of a project. With the growth of BIM use in construction, it is important for colleges anduniversities - with a construction, building, architecture or related degree - to properly exposetheir students to BIM related technologies and practices in order to prepare them for theworkforce [2].

Many programshave capstone / project-based courses, which are aimed at training students in solving real worldproblems. Some programs have courses which run for a year.

to gain inspiration for a future design oras an initial step in revising a prior design for improvement. However, in construction, site andcode constraints make this practice less common, although it can be argued that constructionrenovation projects must fully research and document the existing design before proposingchanges to it. Nonetheless, terminology can become an obstacle in a multidisciplinary setting.Another difference between sectors is in how design methods are applied. At a high level,construction projects tend to be very similar, i.e. in the design of a building, foundations, floors,walls and roofs are all present. However, at a detailed level, construction projects all essentiallyunique, owing to differences in local soil

The course was divided into several units, each unitincluded one problem, and students were forced to solve the problem through research andcollaboration. McIntyre 33 applied the PBL approach into a capstone course to provide studentsreal-world design and construction practices.

Starting with the design of a 36-unit multifamily residentialproject, students used BIM software to avoid conflict and enhance coordination ahead of actualconstruction.
