10 The growing BIM (i.e., Building Information Modeling) application in the 11 construction industry worldwide has driven the research in both technological and 12 managerial aspects. Existing managerial studies have not fully addressed individual 13 perceptions of BIM implementation, especially AEC (i.e., architecture, engineering 14 and construction) students’ opinions related to BIM implementation or industry 15 practice. As the future industry professionals, AEC students’ perceptions and 16 expectations have not been compared with that of industry professionals. Adopting 17 the student population from Swinburne University of Technology as the case study, 18 this research initiated a questionnaire-based approach followed by statistical analysis. 19 Totally 257 AEC students were collected of their responses to four major 20 Professor of Construction Engineering and Management, Department of Civil and Construction Engineering, Swinburne University of Technology, ATC Building, Hawthorn Campus Hawthorn Vic 3122 Australia, Phone: +61(3)92143781, Email: pwzou@swin.edu.au Ph.D. candidate, Department of Civil and Construction Engineering, Swinburne University of Technology, Hawthorn Campus Hawthorn Vic 3122 Australia, Email: xiaoxiaoxu@swin.edu.au Senior Lecturer, School of Environment and Technology, University of Brighton, Cockcroft Building 616, Brighton, UK.

The overall sample analysis 22 revealed that students favored BIM-based jobs related to engineering design and 23 project management, and they perceived less usefulness of BIM in assisting facility 24 management and quantity survey. Subgroup analysis showed that certain perceptions 25 in BIM practice would be affected by students’ field of study, prior industry 26 experience, and gender.
