Governments and the architectural, engineering, and construction industry (AEC) around the world have paid great attention to the application of Building Information Modeling in their projects due to the many advantages it offers, which called on educational institutions to include BIM in their curricula and to qualify new graduates with the competencies and expertise necessary to keep pace with development and to supply the cadres of AEC companies.This research presents educational frameworks and current approaches to integrating BIM into educational curricula around the world, and critical success factors for integrating BIM into education. In this research, an educational BIM framework was proposed based on the research and studies presented in the BIM and Education field and a detailed work plan based on engineering standards (ABET – NARS) for the BIM integrating process in the Faculty of Architecture - Damascus University. The work plan was based on a gradual transition for BIM integration, starting from the first year to the fifth year within three levels.The proposed framework was verified by the academics at the Faculty of Architecture - Damascus University through conducting qualitative interviews to evaluate and improve the framework Comments were taken into account when developing the final proposal. At the end of the research, many recommendations and future directions were presented.
