SAICE: Bridging the GAP: BIM Knowledge & Industry Expertise
Building Information Modelling (BIM) workflows & technologies have enabled architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals to efficiently capture, design, construct, and model contextually the as-built environment. BIM affords professionals intelligence and innovation in achieving their tasks, however, the Civil Industry has stagnated in its processes, resulting in a gap between academic knowledge and innovative infrastructure delivery and technology adoption. This session will be focusing on new career paths technology has created as well as bridging this gap and ushering the civil industry to embrace technology and academia to form the perfect symbiosis for sustainable, intelligent infrastructure delivery.
EVENT OUTCOMES:
-Contextualise BIM, its origin and evolution relative to the SA Civil Engineering Industry
-Understand the relation between BIM, Education & Civil Engineering Expertise
-Discover the career opportunities shaped by BIM expertise in the AEC Industry
-Explore available resources for BIM Education & Upskilling
