Abstract

Teaching Architecture and Civil Engineering requires a permanent updating of knowledge concerning procedures and technologies used in Construction industry. In this sense, the school should seek to adapt its curriculum to include innovative issues to support a better construction. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology involves the concept of information centralized in a unique geometric model and promotes collaboration between all participants. An important role of teaching is to organize actions to stimulate the insertion of new issues in school. The present report presents several uses of the 3D/BIM model, the main limitations found in the development a nD/BIM models and the most remarkable benefits of the BIM methodology when supporting multitasks, within an education context. Several examples of BIM applications developed by students as MSc researchers are described in detail: 2D/BIM technical drawing representations; conflict analysis based in a 3D/BIM model; coordination of construction project supported on a 3D/BIM model; structural analyses using 3D/BIM models; 4D/BIM model for construction planning; materials take-off supporting 5D/BIM models; energetic analyses based on 6D/BIM model; development of 7D/BIM model in maintenance activity. The concept of multiuse of the 3D/BIM model becomes very clear for students, from the development of different nD/BIM models. The objective is to add competitive skills in the training of future civil engineers.
