Abstract:

AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industries are in the process of paradigm shift on the performance of practice, particularly in the fields of architects, consulting engineers such as structural engineers for structural BIM, civil engineers, MEP engineers, and contractors led by Building Information Modeling (BIM). Overall adoption of BIM in the AEC industries of North America has increased from 17% in 2007 to 71% in 2012 which is over 400% growth over last 5 years. This study analyzes and examines the BIM adoption status of AEC industry in the world including the North America and in the R.O. Korea through the literature survey. This study also examines how academic community is preparing for the drastic cultural change of work process in the construction industry due to BIM adoption in the foreign and domestic AEC industry. This paper presents the case study of BIM education including Capstone Design in the R.O. Korea. This study is to propose that academia needs to establish the appropriate educational curriculum and implementation to enhance, improve and research the state of art BIM technology together with AEC industry.
