Abstract:

This work aims to show and analyse the learning results of a teaching innovation experience based on the use of BIM (Building-Information-Modelling) methodology for modelling, design, and calculation of industrial facilities, in the Industrial Facilities course of the 2nd Year of the Master in Industrial Engineering of the Higher Polytechnic School of Engineers of the University of Jaén (Spain).
Nowadays, communication among project stakeholders and information exchange in collaborative environments during projects’ 3D Design and Modelling (BIM) is essential. In this way, BIM methodology is a fundamental tool that must be known, developed, and applied by students for their professional training as future Industrial Engineers. The development of specific software on the cloud allows the student to work interoperating as a group on the network (internet), designing and calculating all kinds of facilities. The use of this tool is especially useful for teachers, as it allows them to review, correct and evaluate students online through the Internet-enabled platform. The assessment of this tool is particularly interesting in the current times of COVID confinement.
We highlight the excellent results and the satisfaction perceived by the students, within the framework of their training in the field of industrial facilities, through the application of this BIM-SERVER-CENTER-EDUCATION Teaching and Professional tool developed by CYPE for engineers.
