About Our Project
The design of elements and environments for construction, engineering and architecture is radically changing in the world thanks to the increasingly massive adoption of BIM (Building Information Model) methodologies and technologies. BIM systems allow shared and updated knowledge of the situation of a construction project, as well as integrate the calculation, design, management and a visual representation aspects into a same system, so that is possible to maintain traceability in the different phases and integrate each element with which interacts to avoid uncoordinated “information silos”.
The design of elements and environments for construction, is radically changing thanks to the increasingly massive adoption of BIM (Building Information Modelling) methodologies and technologies. The use of BIM brings an improvement in all dimension of the construction process:
Quality of the materials, processes and final work.
Compliance with the safety regulations.
Environmental protection.
Control of the conception and the development of the construction work or building by the authorities.
In VET education the level of implementation of BIM is extremely low and the available resources are very scarce. However, construction sector is precisely in general where the need for dully trained professional is bigger, particularly in the higher level, in Tertiary VET, which is called to be the link between the designers (architects and engineers) and the specialised workers.
Objectives
Improving study quality
This project is focus in the development of a curricula and training materials for implementing BIM at the Tertiary Level VET, developing an approach and content adapted to the curricular level and the global scientific and technical knowledge of the students following this courses, which must be aligned, at the same time, with the needs of the labour market
Target Group
Students
The students of Tertiary Level VET from European countries.
Teachers
Teachers in Tertiary VET that want to implement BIM in their lessons.
Workers
Professionals in the construction and civil work field without the required skills in this new complete system.
Educational authorities
Educational authorities in all levels, which, will get an important resource for updating their training programmes.
Society
General society, because of finally this project will contribute to the Europe of knowledge.
