• In Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry,

the transition from two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D)
Computer Aided Design (CAD) to BIM is occurring steadily.
• The most advanced design technology available to architects and
construction firms for a long time was Computer-Aided Drawing
(AutoCAD).
• BIM, a more advanced technology, is now taking its place. In Fig. 1, it
is seen that the way from sketch to CAD drafting is too lengthy and
complicated rather than the BIM technology which is more efficient.
BIM technology offers many open BIM software and there are
opportunities to collaborate with these software. Figure 3: questionnaire survey with result
• Nowadays, a large number of AEC educators are considering to

incorporate BIM into their degree programs.
• However, there is no study that critically synthesizes current
knowledge and outcomes on the applicability of BIM program design
methodologies in architecture education to date.

• lecture contents and lab demonstrations were given to the students of
architecture department of Stamford University, Bangladesh (SUB),
observed and analyzed to develop a complete course profile of BIM at
initial level of undergraduate study incorporating it with universities’
Computer Aided Architectural Design (CAAD) course. Figure 6: Screenshot from student project presentations in zoom platform

Aims and Objectives Conclusions

• to draw the necessity of Building information Modeling (BIM)
technology for developing BIM skills at undergraduate level in
architecture schools of Bangladesh.
• To integrate Building information Modeling (BIM) technology with
Outcome Based Curriculum (OBC).
• The purpose of this study was to examine how BIM can be effectively
integrated with undergraduate architectural Outcome Based
Curriculum while simultaneously emphasizing the significance of
digital changes that are occurring.
• To incorporate BIM in department of architectures undergraduate
level it is necessary to redesign the handout of some courses from
different year which may help students to start their learning of
