    The "Fundamental of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) Technology" course was started three years ago and became popular now. Thirty quotas were not satisfied with students who had high passions in this course. Many students requested to increase the quotas of the course or even just auditing. This year, the teaching team will summarize the teaching experience on previous two years, reform the course contents and teaching methods, guide students to use independent intellectual property rights BIM-based platform of Tsinghua University to finish the homework. We will also encourage them to become interested in independent research and developments of software and hardware for the AEC industry based on the BIM-based basic knowledge and skills. This course is a professional optional course mainly for junior students, which was set up by Jianping Zhang, Zhiliang Ma, and I, who are the professor and associate professor from the Department of Civil Engineering of Tsinghua University.
