Abstract: |
|
This document describes the transformation of the construction industry in the last few years due to the
introduction of the BIM (Building Information Modeling) and the cloud. BIM base design and construction
changed a fragmented industry into an integrated Project Design and Delivery with many advantages for of all the
players involved. This transformation requires professionals with more knowledge and new abilities to respond to
those changes. How could faculty respond to this new challenge? How could they include those changes into the
already heavy curriculum? This document presents a proposal on how to transform the program without doing
many changes in the curriculum and embedding the topics into the classes.
