Courses Construction management 215 cu –Basics of BIM 3 cu: The main target is to give general knowledge of BIM and learn to use one BIM- software (Archicad) Bachelor level –BIM Structural design 3 cu: The main target is to understand basic principles of BIM based structural design process and learn to use Tekla Structures software –Basics of Archicad is one part of basic CAD-course

Courses Master level 60 cu – Using BIM in Civil Engineering 3 cu: The main target is to understand total BIM process in Civil Engineering projects

Courses Double degree programme: – Basics of Tekla Structures as a part of structural engineering course

How ? Own teachers Teachers from companies Many BIM softwares are available for students, but only most common softwares are included in BIM courses

Future BIM will be integrated to ”normal” courses BIM tools will be normal tools BIM thinking will be normal thinking COBIM (Common BIM Requirements) is a new basement Basic tools will be educated as early as possible (Archicad, Tekla Structures) Also in infra education BIM will be important
