Abstract

This paper evaluates the need for Construction IT Education and proposes an interdisciplinary approach to construction IT education. A framework based on the interdisciplinary approach is proposed for the Construction IT Course. It is structured by weaving vertical and horizontal integration into the curriculum. The horizontal integration will bring about more breadth in the curriculum. The vertical integration, on the other hand, structures the content in sequence from simple to complex.
