As demand in the construction industry
continues to rise globally, universities have shown an increased interest in
Building Information Modeling (BIM) education, leading to accelerated
curriculum development studies. Previous research has identified several
challenges associated with creating new BIM course curricula. Notably, the
instructor's competence in delivering the practical components of the course
and developing assignment content are significant issues. The development of
case studies aims to enhance the BIM proficiency of course instructors and to
generate course materials suitable for practical application. This paper
outlines the design of course content for BIM curriculum development through
the use of case studies. Case studies from various building programs are
evaluated and compared based on their BIM maturity levels. The resulting course
materials are implemented in a graduate course offered each year and assessed
through student surveys. The intricate nature of BIM is explained within a
model-based learning environment. By analyzing the learning environment using
data gathered from student surveys, this study aims to provide insights for
future improvements.
