ABSTRACT

 The emergence and development of BIM technology has triggered another revolution in the construction industry. How to promote BIM technology and how to cultivate BIM technology application talents is an urgent problem that needs to be solved in front of major universities. Based on the preliminary results of the teaching reform of civil engineering majors at home and abroad, this article discusses the teaching objectives, teaching content, and teaching organization form of BIM courses, analyzes the problems faced by the BIM teaching reform of civil engineering majors, and proposes the integration of BIM knowledge into civil engineering. Implementation suggestions in engineering major teaching provide reference for the establishment of BIM courses in civil engineering majors and BIM teaching reform.
