Abstract
This paper appraises and measures the effect of an existing Building Information Modeling (BIM) re-education program designed by the C Educational Institute in Korea. BIM is a relatively recent type of modeling being adopted by the construction industry. The aim of this research is to analyze the effect of the BIM re-education program on students' career development throughout the construction industry. The case program aims to provide those who are unemployed or have recently graduated with an opportunity to begin their career development within the construction. The program in association with Bloom’s Taxonomy will be used to analyze the impact of BIM education on a student’s career development. The impact of the re-education on career development will be assessed and will determine the feasibility of the research. The analysis showed that students who successfully completed this BIM program had a high chance of finding employment. The course also improved the students' knowledge and helped most of them find employment, indicating that it was an effective education curriculum.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
