Purpose Building Information Modelling (BIM) is becoming the new norm in the AEC industry and also part of many construction project management (CPM) programmes. The purpose of this paper is to address the difficulty and challenges in walking the narrow line between an industry-ready BIM and a BIM that is good for student learning and offers a rea...

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is becoming the new norm in the AEC industry and also part of many construction project management (CPM) programmes. In terms of teaching BIM there is the need for specific resources in explaining the theoretical principles of BIM, BIM tools (authoring, audit and analysis) and building models themselves. Theoret...

... Australian universities still mainly only offer BIM courses, primarily as elective content (Puolitaival et al. 2015). The resources include large files, software, reliable and realistic data input, and difficulty in exchanging data between multiple software packages (Arashpour and Aranda-Mena 2017;). ...
... Introducing Building Information Modeling (BIM) education is not new to the construction management curriculum. Many faculty experts and industry practitioners excel in teaching BIM to students and helping them understand the core concepts of BIM [5]- [7]. However, VDC introduces BIM tools to track and manage projects but also includes other computing tools such as Extended Reality (XR), digital twins, and holographic and immersive visualizations, considered advanced computing methods and not BIM. ...
... This was corroborated by Han and Bedrick (2015) and may threaten BIM implementation and sustainability without incorporating it into the higher education curriculum. Implementing a BIM construction project demands new components of discipline professionals compared to conventional construction projects (Puolitaival and Forsythe, 2016). BIM education flourishes in HEIs built environment programmes (Lee and Dossick, 2012;Panuwatwanich et al., 2013;Shelbourn et al., 2017). ...
