• 3. Conclusion

Purpose

• Background

• In 2014, the JACIC began to assess the technical plans about CIM.

• At that time, there is no educational organization to educate 3D‐CAD software in a civil engineering field.

• We started educational activities,called "CIM Challenging Education and Training" 

Purpose

• Project team “CIM education” in JACIC

• Our purpose is to design the contents about 3D‐CAD curriculums, and to conduct training.

Activities• Design the contents (First draft)

• We collected a opinions.

Activity

• The curriculums :Entry course

• A road route design (soil cutting and soil embankments)• Bridges and tunnels are generated parametric

• Outline estimation of the cost

• Smooth consensus to inhabitantsreduce a rework

Curriculum No.1  Road routing 2:00

• The curriculums

Curriculum No.2  Road routing 1:40

• The curriculums

Activities• Conduct entry course, 2or3 course, 6 times.

• Total 15times121 trainees

Activities

• Needs :more practical contents

Activities

• Conduct practical course• Curriculum No.1

• Add the simulation of bridge• Design and redesign 3D modeling of bridge• Simulate the construction process• Make the attributes and the tabulation of accounts

• Curriculum No.2• Add the simulation of express way

• Design and redesign 3D modeling of interchange and intersections• Redesign the road in front of the house• Confirmation of a drainage of road surface 

and a obstruction of sunshine surrounding houses

Activities• Conduct practical course, 2 course, 2 times.

• Total 4times34 trainees
