BIM Tec Research on Teaching Reform Driven by BIM Technology Integrating Theory and Practice in Civil Engineering

Abstract

With the accelerating digital transformation of the construction industry, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become a core technological driver in civil engineering, yet its integration into university education remains constrained by gaps between theory and practice, fragmented curricula, and limited alignment with the national 1+X Certificate System. Focusing on BIM teaching in civil engineering programs, this study aligns industry job requirements with the 1+X pilot framework to analyze current instructional challenges and propose a distinctive “Post-Class-Competition-Certificate-Innovation-Research” six-in-one reform model. Implementation pathways are designed across four dimensions-curriculum system reconstruction, training platform enhancement, university-enterprise collaborative education, and assessment optimization-to bridge the divide between theoretical learning and practical application. By leveraging BIM to build a coherent, practice-oriented teaching ecosystem, the study aims to cultivate interdisciplinary talent capable of meeting the digital competencies demanded by the modern construction industry, offering a valuable reference for BIM-oriented educational reform under the paradigm of emerging engineering education.
