BIM Curriculum for Geomatics Engineering
Mohsen KALANTARI
Building Information Modelling (BIM) and digital engineering have begun to shift the way the architecture, engineering and construction industry operates. The geospatial professionals have the opportunity to take a more prominent position in this paradigm shift. The shift is expected to take place exponentially soon. The silo-based engineering approaches will no longer address the needs of this shift. Instead, the need for competencies in collaboration and digital principles are becoming more prominent. This need will make the data management and sharing skills of geospatial professionals critical for the future of engineering. This study presents the current state of the infrastructure engineering curriculum at the University of Melbourne concerning this shift. This paper provides a review of the contemporary AEC challenges and recommends an approach to cater forthemin a blended curriculum design.
