Abstract:Building information modeling (BIM) is a key technology for the digitization of smart city infrastructure. Its lack of talent has severely restricted the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry and the construction of smart cities. However, the existing BIM courses and teaching system are mainly aimed at architectural design and construction management. They can’t meet the needs of the country, industry and the market for BIM compound talents combining "building + city" with the new generation information technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence. Therefore, this article has established a teaching platform for BIM technology and designed a comprehensive teaching scheme for BIM applications oriented to big data and artificial intelligence. The teaching platform and scheme have been practiced in the national first-class major—Building Electricity and Intelligence. The high value of students"" course experience proves that the method proposed in this article has achieved the purpose of improving the level of BIM teaching and can provide reference for the cultivation of BIM compound talents in similar majors.
