**10. Guidelines for introducing BIM integration with emerging technologies in an architectural academic programme**

BIM integration with emerging technologies are proven helpful in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry due to their various advantages to projects and stakeholders, so the chapter suggested considerable guidelines to facilitate introducing these technologies in architectural academic programme as shown in the following:

#### **10.1 Develop a new education curriculum module**

It is expected that there will be more demand for the emerging technologies associated with BIM such as AI, Cloud technologies, (IoT), (VR, AR), 3D laser and 3D printing and drone technology. These technologies will affect architectural education and training systems, which create a need to develop new skills. Education courses could be divided along the semesters.

#### **10.2 Establish an interdisciplinary curriculum system across integration**

There is difficulty for a single discipline in architecture to meet the development needs of all emerging technologies integrated with BIM, such as (AI),cloud technologies ,(IoT), (VR, AR), 3D Laser and 3D printing Scanning and drone technology, so architectural curricula must be developed to include different disciplines in this field. *Integration BIM and Emerging Technologies in Architectural Academic Programs DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.106443*
