Abstract: Implementation of the practical teaching reform in order to improve the students′ ability of engineering practice and professional quality, is an important measure to fully implement the national medium and long-term education reform, and is also a critical approach to cultivate complex, application-oriented, innovative and pioneering talents. However, there are problems existed in teaching practice, including insufficient depth and poor relevance of knowledge. Currently, the most popular practice teaching methods is visiting the construction enterprises or engineering project sites, while there are also safety risks and the constraints of time and space. This paper first summarizes the application status of BIM in the field of education at home and abroad, and then proposes the construction target of BIM virtual simulation training platform, and designs the general system structure figure, which divides the platform into building structure design practical training sub-platform, construction virtual simulation practical training sub-platform, BIM engineering cost practical training sub-platform, and BIM integration project management practical training sub-platform. In the end, the principle of cloud schema of the practical training platform is proposed, enumerating the main components of the software and hardware, which provides references for peers to establish similar training platforms.
