I blogged recently how Texas is now requiring building information modeling (BIM) on state projects. I just came across an interesting related article about bringing high school curricula into the 21st century in Texas. Department of Labor revisions in career and technology education are now being reflected by the Texas Education Agency and in school districts to emphasize the new skills required for the current job market.
As an interesting example, the article mentions courses for students interested in a career in architecture. Until now an architecture course would typically involve training in CAD, often AutoCAD. But in Texas now this is being changed to reflect the current job market. Students in Texas high schools will now be learning building information modeling (BIM) and spending less time on CAD. Thanks to Debra Pothier for pointing me to this article. (Image Henderson Land Development Co Ltd)
