BIM Teaching and Learning Handbook: Implementation for Students and Educators

M. Reza Hosseini is currently the associate head of school (research) at the School of Architecture and Built Environment, Deakin University; a research fellow of the Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE); and the founder and leader of the Australian BIM Academic Forum (ABAF). He had 12 years of experience working in various areas of the construction industry prior to joining the academic world. His main research and teaching areas are building information modelling (BIM) and digital engineering, and he has written around 190 published papers and book chapters. Farzad Khosrowshahi is dean of the College of Engineering and Science at Victoria University, Melbourne, and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Building. He is the founder of the BIM Academic Forum, Information Visualisation Society, and Uniting Construction Information. Farzad has previously served as the director of Construct IT, chair of ARCOM (Association of Researchers in Construction Management), and chair of IV Society. He has served on a number of committees including The European Council for Construction Research, Development and Innovation, buildingSMART UK, and the Construction Industry Council Research & Innovation. Ajibade A. Aibinu is an associate professor at the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning, The University of Melbourne, Australia, where he was the Assistant Dean, Research Training. His research interests cut across the built environment project and asset management, from design and construction to operations, particularly data-driven processes to ensure value for money. He is the founder of Intelligent Cost Manager, a cloud-based cost-management solution that leverages deep learning and predictive modelling to generate cost estimates with greater accuracy using historical data. Ajibade is a member of the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors and was previously an associate of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (2008-2013). Sepehr Abrishami is a BIM programme leader and senior lecturer in the School of Civil Engineering and Surveying at the University of Portsmouth, UK. He has carried out extensive research in the field of BIM, automation in design and construction, and environmental design. His areas of expertise include building information modelling (BIM), generative and parametric evolutionary design, artificial intelligence (AI), digital design and construction, integrated design, design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA), offsite manufacturing, Big Data, blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and IT integrated architectural design.
