Estudo de Implementação do Software de Modelagem BIM 3D no Curso Técnico de Edificações do IFBA, Campus Salvador

Abstract

The Building Information Modeling - also known by its acronym, BIM - is a rising technology in the field of Architecture, Engineering and Construction in Brazil. However, there is still a lack of the application of said technology to the academic sphere, particularly at the technical level, in Brazil. In this work aims to carry out a study of implementation of a BIM 3D modeling software in the Technical Course of Buildings of IFBA, analyzing - from the student’s perspective - if this scenario would be feasible. The problem comes from the students' questions about a possible migration from CAD to BIM as a form of graphic representation of architectural projects. In order to carry out this investigation, the participant-research methodology was used to emulate the possible experience of a student who is already immersed in the technical learning of Buildings containing the BIM Methodology in their Pedagogical Course Project, using the Autodesk Revit platform. The results show that the skills required from students to perform 3D modeling of a project using BIM software are present in the Course Curricular Matrix. It also answers that the implementation of such software in the discipline of Architectural Design will occur if learning is focused only on building familiarity with the platform and its commands.
