Avaliação do Uso do BIM na disciplina de instalações hidráulicas e sanitárias prediais: um estudo de caso no campus Crateús

Abstract

With the increase in the complexity of projects, BIM (Building Information Modeling) has stood out, enabling improvement in the quality of the final product, integrating a series of data into a virtual building model. Therefore, it is necessary to disseminate BIM to engineering professionals and students, as this is still a new way of working in engineering. However, despite the series of advantages observed in the literature, adopting BIM is an existing problem in the market and in academia, given its complexity. In this way, we sought to explore the following question: How is BIM adopted in the teaching of building systems design for engineering? Realizing this problem, the present work aims to describe the initial experiences of BIM adoption in the field of Building Systems in a higher education institution, more specifically in the subject of Building Hydraulic and Sanitary Installations. Thus, aiming to contribute to the teaching and learning experiences of BIM in higher education, which consequently contributes to the improvement of the quality of professionals trained by the institution. In this sense, research was developed using the case study as a strategy. As a result, it was possible to know the current level of knowledge about BIM of the students of the class used as object of study and the level of knowledge in the BIM tool used, describe the execution plan used for the adoption of BIM in the discipline and carry out the analysis of the results obtained during the development of cold water and sewage projects from the students point of view. Aiming to know the main difficulties during the devel opment of the projects as well as the quality of the development of these projects, analyzed through the evaluation of the work by the teacher. As conclusions, the degree of knowledge of the students of the analyzed class about BIM in general, as well as if there was already some form of knowledge of these in the Autodesk Revit tool. The work made it possible to understand how the proposed adoption plan was structured, through the characteristics that were requested by the teacher in the BIM model, the deliverables plan and the proposed training. In addition, it is also possible to understand the difficulties encountered during the implementation process, which together with the suggestions made allow the subsequent improvement of the BIM implementation process in the analyzed discipline, as well as the extension of the action process to other disciplines.
