This research investigates the feasibility and effectiveness of BIM-enabled education in teaching project cash flows to construction management students. The results show that BIM-enabled education can promote BIM collaboration and professional practice experiences, and meet the standard requirements for educational module design.
This research explores the practical feasibility and effectiveness of BIM-enabled education in teaching the topic of project cash flows to construction management students. Using a participatory action research methodology, a BIM-enabled cash flow exercise was developed, carried out and refined in a construction investment course to simulate integrated practice. The results of the implementation demonstrate that BIM-enabled education can promote and infuse both BIM collaboration and professional practice experiences within an architecture, engineering, construction, and facilities management (AEC-FM) curriculum. Additionally, the teaching practice and method in this intervention demonstrate the capability to accommodate all levels of knowledge in Bloom's taxonomy which is a standard requirement for educational module design. This study recommends that BIM-enabled education be embraced and explored by faculties in AEC-FM courses to improve teaching and learning of construction management concepts.
