Abstract

In this era, the age of the digital revolution, Egyptian engineering universities and academies compete by integrating new technologies such as building information modeling (BIM) inside the educational curriculum. The research aims to examine and integrate BIM techniques within the course specifications in Egyptian universities and academies, majoring in architectural engineering pathing through the four levels of credit hours system so that, teaching the BIM courses is not limited to one or two only. Furthermore, the current situation of BIM maturity levels, dimensions, and tools implementation in some architecture universities and academies curriculum will be determined and monitored. As a result of this methodology, the research summarizes and creates a development plan vision of BIM maturity levels, dimensions, and tools implementation in the architectural engineering course categories in egyptian universities and academies. Also, the architectural engineering curriculum will be upgraded by BIM incorporation and adding new BIM techniques inside the course learning objectives and creating new BIM ARS competencies. Finally, creating a BIM framework guidance for incorporating BIM techniques in the architectural engineering curriculum and helping the academic staff and the graduated students meet the Egyptian labor market needs.
