BIM Awareness and Education Preliminary Results among Students of Graduate Study Program in Construction Industry

The continuous increase of the scope of investment construction projects and their goals in environment, which abounds with many constraints and stakeholders, asks for efficient project management with adequate software support. Building Information Modelling (BIM) emerges as one such integral tool. Although it is accepted by the scientific community, there are several subjective and objective barriers in its wide application such as lack of knowledge, qualification, and awareness of necessity for BIM implementation. Using a web-based questionnaire and personal questioning, the data of students of the graduate study programs in the architecture, engineering, and civil engineering fields at four universities in Croatia (Rijeka, Zagreb, Split, and Osijek) was collected, analyzed, and compared. Results of the performed statistical analysis show that students gain knowledge and skills (CAD modelling, n-D modelling, and multi-disciplinarity of projects environment), which is a good prerequisite for BIM implementation in the future. The conducted research gives a preliminary insight into possibilities of BIM implementation into lecturing plans and programs at technical universities to become basic knowledge of the construction industry and its improvement.
