Abstract: This research is developed within the European project “BENEDICT”. BENEDICT project aims at analyzing teaching approaches with BIM in the construction industry. The goal of this research is therefore to perform an exhaustive analysis on the methods of transmission of BIM awareness and education in American universities to complete a comprehensive comparison with the methods developed in Italian, Estonian and Finnish Universities through case study. Therefore, tackling existing skill gaps and mismatches between academia and industry, a teaching plan that aims to standardize and unify relevant teaching programs, tools and methods is developed.
Keywords: BENEDICT, BIM, BIM-enabled learning, Digital Construction, Education
