International Collaboration with BIM at its Core

摘要

The first American-China undergraduate construction education thesis class brought together students from the McWhorter School of Building Science at Auburn University and the College of Civil Engineering at Tongji University (TJU), Shanghai, China to understand the global advantage of BIM.rnThrough the international collaboration, 16 Auburn students and 15 TJU students studied, researched and worked on multiple construction-related topics with an emphasis on learning and using building information modeling (BIM) as well as the concepts of sustainable construction, integrated design, building MEP systems, and construction scheduling.
