Abstract: In view of the emerging BIM technology in the construction engineering industry in recent years, this paper analyzes the reason why it is difficult to carry out the BIM course teaching research in domestic undergraduate courses in China. By comparing the BIM course with the existing mature courses in engineering management specialty, such as CAD course and engineering evaluation course, the authors propose a teaching idea of BIM courses of "General Introduction + Sub-courses". A detailed exploration of the new teaching methods in the key aspects of theoretical explanation, case analysis and software practice in the sub-course implantation model is carried out.
