“…Hedayati et al (2015) surveyed both the students and lecturers when exploring the obstacles to implementing BIM in the educational system. Abbas et al (2016) sampled only academic staff when exploring the current state of BIM in the construction management programme at the engineering universities in Pakistan.…”

“…Furthermore, it is not just a simple 3D model process; it can be used to simulate every aspect of a design's performance [2]. Abbas et al [3] pointed out that most universities are unaware of the importance of BIM applications and educational strategies. In Pakistan, some enterprises have begun to teach or discuss BIM.…”

The purpose of this paper was to present a method for developing a project-based online course for building information modeling (BIM) learning. As the development of BIM has gradually increased its influence on the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries, countries around the world have begun to focus on BIM education and import it into university courses. However, there have been many studies pointing out several problems with the BIM education curriculum. For example, BIM education should not be limited to modeling work, and students do not exactly know the entire BIM workflow. Therefore, this research proposed a project-based online course development method for solving BIM educational issues. The proposed method contains a course development process and guidelines for designing the course. As an example implementation, a five-week Autodesk Revit learning curriculum was developed. Such a curriculum was then utilized in a 32 student class for testing its effectiveness. The results showed that students could understand the BIM process more effectively through the designed project-based course. Additionally, with online video tutorials, students are free to allocate their study time based on their personal needs and adjust their learning progress for better understanding of the course contents.

“…The most used software in CM education are: Revit (material take off), Microsoft Project (time planning), Navisworks Manage (4D simulation, clash detection, MEP coordination) and Vico Office (cost analysis, 5D simulation) [3,23,33,35,36]. Furthermore, Taiebat and Ku (2010) have proven that in construction companies in US, knowledge about software tools Revit and Navisworks are the most demanding in construction curricula of graduate study [37].…”

Preliminary communicationBuilding Information Modelling (BIM) is the current trend of the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry today. For its successful adaptation, education and standardization are one of the key success factors. In education, BIM provides development of students' critical way of thinking and enables them to understand the complexity of the construction industry. As there is no accurate information about BIM education at Croatian universities, the aim of this paper was its implementation at the University J. J. Strossmayer of Osijek and the University of Zagreb. We have found that the current schemes enabled students to understand the BIM concept and how BIM changes and fosters the work processes in construction projects. However, we have also identified the deficient knowledge in coordination, interoperability and clash detection. Therefore, the future work involves extension on collaboration tools and covering the above mentioned, missing knowledge areas. Keywords: Building Information Modelling; construction management; engineering education; 5D modelling; master level Ocjena edukacijskih pristupa Building Information Modeling-a (BIM) na diplomskim studijima građevinskih fakulteta u RH Prethodno priopćenjeBuilding InformationModeling (BIM) predstavlja trend u današnjoj arhitekturi, graditeljstvu i ostalim inženjerskim strukama. Pravilna edukacija i standardizacija predstavljaju ključne faktore prilagodbe na BIM. Primjenom BIM-a u edukaciji, studentima se omogućuje razvoj kritičkog načina razmišljanja i mogućnost zapažanja i razumijevanja kompleksnosti građevinske industrije. Kako ne postoje precizne informacije o BIM edukaciji na hrvatskim sveučilištima, cilj ovog rada je implementacija iste na Sveučilištu J. J. Strossmayer u Osijeku te Sveučilištu u Zagrebu. Zaključili smo da trenutna edukacija studentima omogućava razumijevanje BIM koncepta i načina na koji BIM mijenja proces rada u građevinskim projektima. Radom je također uočeno da u edukaciji nedostaju znanja o koordinaciji, interoperabilnosti i kontroli sudara. Stoga, budući rad uključuje širenje edukacije na ostale kolaborativne alate kako bi se obuhvatila spomenuta područja znanja koja trenutno nedostaju u edukaciji.
