**Abstract**

Building information modelling (BIM) provides major potential to improve project performance through its integration with emerging technologies, which are proven benefits in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, such as better data sharing, increased productivity, safety improvement and enhanced visualization. As the evolution of BIM integration with the emerging technologies has progressively increased its influence on the (AEC) sector, an architectural academic programme must introduce BIM through its integration with the new technologies practices into architectural academic programs, in order to fulfil the requirements of this sector. The chapter's objective is to provide students, academic researchers and practitioners with a comprehensive updated review of the importance of adopting BIM integrated with emerging technologies in the architectural academic programme. The methodology comprises literature review to investigate the current developments in this subject area by reviewing and explaining the use of BIM integration with emerging technologies in construction project phases and presents practical examples of architectural projects that used these technologies. The chapter concluded that architectural education that supports emerging technologies has great impact on AEC. The chapter suggested considerable guidelines to facilitate introducing BIM integration with emerging technologies in the architectural academic programme and to find the possibility of applying the guidelines in architectural academic programs.
