| Popis: | Several educational institutions and universities have introduced Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Virtual Reality (VR) courses separately in the construction management (CM) programs around the globe, and others are in the process of integrating them into their curricula. However, fewer institutions have included integrated BIM and VR into their courses. The industry needs for integrated BIM-VR are not fully recognised by universities due to the lack of a guideline and cognitive dissonance between academia and industry. As a result, most universities do not have a rigorous strategy for developing BIM-VR teaching topics and plans. This study firstly aims to report on some of the employed processes by university lecturers and academics in an Australian University to integrate BIM-VR education into CM curriculum. The review on the secondary sources indicates that the integration of BIM/VR education requires the consideration of three aspects including: industry needs, course contents, classroom size and software and hardware selection. The second aim of this paper is to develop a decision support system by utilising the PROMETHEE method as one of the multi-criteria decision-making approaches. The findings of the secondary sources and development of the decision support system help the educational institutions and practitioners for their future BIM-VR implementation initiatives. |
