Estándares y trabajo colaborativo como parte de la enseñanza BIM en educación superior

Abstract

This document seeks to establish the importance of collaborative work in Building Information Modeling (BIM) environments, as a foundation of the paradigm shift that is occurring in higher education, in training professionals with the necessary competences to meet the requirements of today’s AEC industry.

To accomplish this, a revision is made of important aspects worth considering, about the necessity of transforming the present state of education to encourage the use of collaborative spaces as a part of a process of multi-disciplinary work.  In this sense, the importance of promoting the teaching of the BIM methodology lies in its base of collaborative processes and technologies to increase efficiency in the execution of projects in the construction industry. In this way, this document seeks to strengthen the academic response to the availability of professionals with the skills required in the current market, and to present new ways of educating in the face of an accelerated digital transformation. In addition, the different Standards of the construction industry are addressed, and especially those that support the BIM methodology, and that make it possible to maintain consistency and traceability of information throughout the life cycle of a project, regardless of number of participants from different disciplines involved in it.
