Abstract:

Newly graduated students are shown to constitute an important source of innovation withinthe architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. In relation to digital technologies likeBIM (Building Information Modelling) that is claimed to have a potential to transform the industry,newly graduated students may play a vital role in innovating with BIM. The paper aims to exploredeterminants for students perceived potential of BIM use (PPBU) and the role of the educationalbackground. The aim will be achieved by analysing the results from a survey conducted among thirdand fourth-year students in construction and civil engineering in Hong Kong, Sweden, and Thailand (n= 194). When the different groups are compared Swedish and Thai students perceive a significant higherPPBU than Hong Kong students. In a step-wise multiple regression analysis five predictors for PPBUwere identified for Thai respectively Swedish students, and one predictor was identified for Hong Kongstudents. It is concluded that in the contemporary BIM-discourse it is claimed that BIM can/shouldtransform the industry, and BIM is even seen as a disruptive technology, and newly graduated studentswill contribute to (digitally driven) innovation. However, from the predictors of PPBU, the question canraised if the awareness of the need for structural changes is lacking in the education, if students later intheir working life should contribute to a BIM-induced transformation of the industry?
