Abstract

Wicked challenges such as energy and material shortage have prompted educators in AECO disciplines to adopt CBL methods. This paper explores the potential and limitations of using BIM as an education platform to address these challenges within an inter-disciplinary setting. Through two cases at TU Delft, one re-design of a routine building information management course and a new demo-course with joint-interdisciplinary groups, the research evaluates BIM's role in preparing students for real-world energy and circular transitions. Findings highlight BIM's capacity to bridge academic learning and professional practice, while also identifying areas for improvement in its pedagogies.
