  • Should BIM change the language of engineering education? : Elektronski vir
    Turk, Žiga, 1962-, gradbenik
    Over the last decade the construction industry has been introducing building information models (BIM) as the way to represent buildings and communicate about them. In teaching engineering, we are ... also creating representations of buildings and communicating knowledge about them. While teaching, we conceptually refer to the very same real world objects that now have an explicit conceptualization in a BIM environment. This explicit conceptualization did not exist in the age of drawings and paper documents. The question that this paper asks is this: Due to BIM, communication in the industry changed. Should communication of engineering knowledge teaching change as well and how? While much has been written about teaching BIM and incorporating BIM into the curricula, this paper is exploring the general impact of BIM on engineering education. Based on a high-level model of engineering communication, five scenarios of the interplay between BIM-influenced engineering communication and teaching are presented. The paper argues that ignoring BIM may create a cognitive dissonance between study and industrial work. We are finding that the impact of BIM is twofold: vertically there is a need to establish a reference between knowledge concepts (in teaching) and information objects (in information models). Horizontally BIM is an integration technology that allows for a more holistic design and planning. Both the language of individual courses as well as cross references and synergies among courses should change. A T style structure of the courses around BIM is proposed.
