- Abstract
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been widely praised as a new paradigm and the next digital transformation in the architecture, engineering, construction and owner/operator (AECO) industry, moving towards a more productive and agile industry. This research is an attempt by the Australian BIM Academic Forum (ABAF) to fulfil two key ABAF objectives by: 1. Collectively promoting BIM education and learning across Australian universities and 2. Develop the minimum requirements for BIM-related curricula, with the objective of bridging the gap between BIM university education outcomes and workplace performance requirements. Driven by the needs of the Australian AECO industry, this framework is the first in Australia to set minimum requirements for BIM/DE education across Australian universities, with the aim of creating a sustainable pipeline of graduates in AECO-related courses, who possess the knowledge, skills and abilities required by the Australian AECO industry. As a result, the framework recognises the need to cover the education of BIM/DE-ready graduates across wider generic fields to address issues throughout the whole asset life cycle.
