Problems of implementing BIM technologies in the educational process

The article discusses educational process improvement for architect training concerning modern technologies, such as digitalization, information modeling, and cyber technologies. Reviewed and proposed mechanisms, methods, and means of modernization of education, concerning the introduction of BIM technologies to the bachelor's and master’s training course for ensuring quality of professional training of construction and architectural personnel. Influence factors, trends, and alternatives for implementing the concept of BIM in the educational process in the form of end-to-end integrated design and joint work in a team are identified.

The article focuses on the relevance of the organization of progressive training, starting from the junior courses of a specialized university or college (institutions of higher education) to professional advanced training courses or other post-graduation training in licensed training centers. Emphasized are the creation of educational programs and their bringing to the standards of information modeling - as effective ways of construction and architectural personnel training.
