Abstract
Lack of BIM skilled professionals and lack of education and BIM training are key challenges to BIM implementation. The provision of BIM education in higher education institutions is seen as the main solution to these challenges. This chapter is part of an on-going Ph.D. research about the implementation of BIM in the Dominican Republic, a country with interest in implementing BIM but suffering from many challenges including lack of BIM education. This study aims to present the development of a framework to guide the integration of BIM in university curricula in the D.R., which is part of a comprehensive framework, outcome of the Ph.D. research. The framework was developed from a thorough literature on BIM education as well as an analysis of existing BIM Education frameworks. Moreover, findings of the research about BIM education in the D.R. are presented to describe the presence of BIM education in the country.
