Metodología BIM en el grado de edificación: modelo de taller en la asignatura Expresión Gráfica de Tecnologías

Abstract

The concept of BIM implies a radical change in the way of facing the architectural design and the life cycle process of the projects and the buildings. It is an efficient and open system of communication and cooperation between the different operators involved in the construction process and, therefore, it becomes in a suitable tool for its implementation in the Technical Schools of Engineering and Architecture. This paper defends the recognition of the BIM methodology as a collaborative and coordinated instrument for its application in the university teaching in degrees of this field of knowledge, so that the flow of interdisciplinary information is efficient. The experience of the implementation of this methodology in the Degree in Building is described. It is based on a workshop-integrator model in the subject called Graphic Expression of Technologies. Subsequently, educational enquiries derived from the innovation developed are collected, showing its benefits for the student body as regards learning, and also the limitations found. In conclusion, the outcomes obtained lead to continue supporting this technological integration. Finally, a series of recommendations for its improvement are provided, concerning the way to guide the students throughout the experience, and also related to the teaching organisation through the curriculum
