Abstract

With the rapid advancement of intelligent construction in the building industry, the existing Building Information Modeling (BIM) talent cultivation models and evaluation standards for civil engineering majors no longer meet industry job requirements. This paper analyzes the current state and challenges of BIM talent cultivation in civil engineering majors in China, focusing on four key areas: the curriculum system, practice system, evaluation system, and faculty alignment. Drawing on nearly a decade of exploration and practical outcomes in BIM talent cultivation at Xi’an Eurasia University, this paper proposes a new approach. Key recommendations include revising the training objectives of various majors to align with new BIM job competency requirements, reconstructing the BIM teaching assurance system (encompassing curriculum, practice, evaluation, and assurance systems), establishing a “school-industry-academy-enterprise” tripartite collaborative education model, innovating flexible employment methods to diversify faculty composition, and reaffirming the applied talent cultivation positioning of universities. These proposed paths and models have been implemented at Xi’an Eurasia University, achieving industry-recognized results. This paper aims to provide reference and guidance for similar institutions in exploring BIM talent cultivation under new circumstances.
