Abstract
Building Information Modelling (BIM) application centres on the delivery of projects that encompasses theory, technical knowledge, regulations and practice. BIM is typically adopted in highly complex projects either in scale or typology which is difficult to replicate in education. Construction Education has struggled to fully embrace this new digital workflow paradigm in its teaching of students, however, because of these complexities. This paper will discuss how construction education across a variety of vocational courses has a long-standing constructivist, project-based pedagogy and this is quite effective in developing, for example, critical thinking and digitisation in education. However, there is much to be learnt and to change in the studio pedagogy approach and how effective it can be in adopting broader digitisation changes in industry into education. The future of education in the built environment may be through a practice-orientated, collaborative approach and this paper discusses the extent of change needed to effectively adopt digitisation in education using Architecture, Architectural Technology and Quantity Surveying students as exemplars.
