BIM, Building Information Modeling, education is not being practiced effectively, if at all, in many/most educational institutions.   Core educational focus must be upon efficient construction delivery business processes (integrated project delivery, IPD, job order contracting, JOC, public private partnerships,PPP) and a robust ontology, vs. technology.   Using Revit, Archicad, or other 3d modeling software is NOT an introduction to BIM, but rather a component of BIM.

Certainly BIM involves technology, and the disruptive technology of cloud computing will prove a primary catalyst for BIM acceptance.  The reason, however, it that people and process are equally important to BIM, if not more so, than technology.

Owners, Contractors, Subcontractors, AEs, Building Product Manufactures, Oversight Groups and/or any stakeholder of the built environment will need to undergo fundamental process change in order to succeed at BIM.
