Process improvement priorities for BIM related curricula in Australian universities

![CDATA[Staff members at one New South Wales university collaborated with Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) in the delivery of a specially designed unit that explored the process improvement priorities of Building Information Modeling (BIM) related curricula in Australian Universities. Current delivery mostly focusses on BIM as a software tool but not as a way of enabling the method of delivery. This paper showcases the need to alter perceptions when it comes to delivering BIM related units. A work-based project was put into use for a more practice-oriented contribution of knowing with, not about, people, that brings together action and reflection. To translate the learning from the specially designed unit, the authors propose BIMed 4.0, a transformational pedagogy for BIM related curricula. The critical levers in developing BIMed 4.0 is an attempt to replicate industry BIM standards and protocols according to PAS 1192-2:2013 in the method of delivery and the philosophy of systemic transformation for Construction 4.0. This paper discusses a change management plan for transitioning into BIMed 4.0. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper illustrating how BIM can be used to enable a new method of delivery.]]
