Research on Innovative Pathways for Practice-Oriented Teaching in BIM Technology-Empowered Engineering Management Based on Grounded Theory

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Based on grounded theory, this study examines how Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology supports practice-oriented teaching reform in engineering management. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with engineering management educators, industry experts, and students, and an interview-based theoretical framework was developed by using qualitative research methods. The findings indicate that BIM technology significantly improves practical teaching in engineering management by improving management capabilities, such as teamwork, collaboration, and communication and coordination, as well as technical and modeling capabilities. A comprehensive evaluation based on the entropy method and the extensible cloud model further indicates that the application of BIM technology effectively promotes innovation in engineering management education. The study provides a theory-driven reference for cultivating engineering management professionals with digital and international competencies.
