Abstract:

In modern European society, the quality of education is given great importance as an indicator of the progress of society and as one of the tools that contribute to moderate, sustainable growth throughout Europe. BIM competence today is considered essential for engineering projects. Creating an innovative interactive educational material with BIM integration is just the start of a future specialist engineer to successful independent work. And this type of learning material has great potential in teaching and learning and supporting BIM competence workforce requirements.
Significant changes in the content of traditional subjects using visualization and parametric information of educational objects, as well as the use of mobile devices, activate students' interest and increase the educational process's effectiveness. The use of BIM at an early stage in the training of specialists can be achieved without significant formal changes in the curriculum. 3D modelling programs allow for the easy use and creation of various 3D objects for visualization, and a better understanding of educational topics since 3D objects contain parametric information about the subject. This allows the learner and teacher to develop interdisciplinary connections and effectively use them to assimilate logically related educational material better.
BIM, included in undergraduate-level engineering programs, significantly improves student learning at a future specialist's initial stage of education and develops collaboration skills.
This article discusses the use of an open online course, consisting of interconnected thematic modules with interactive learning objects, which is used as an experimental course to provide interdisciplinary links in core technical subjects and further develop the new concept of academic education.
