The international finals of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) competition at the 2025 BRICS Skills Competition (BRICS Future Skills and Technology Challenge) concluded successfully at Yibin Vocational and Technical College from December 5 to 8. Co-hosted by Brazil's National Service for Industrial Training and the BRICS Business Council, the competition centered on Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology application and innovation. It attracted 53 top teams from China, Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation, South Africa, India, Ghana, and other countries.

Our School of Architectural Engineering's competition team delivered an outstanding performance in this international contest. Facing formidable competitors from around the world and the challenge of a two-person collaboration format, the participants focused on core skills such as BIM modeling, clash detection, and collaborative design. They used real-world engineering projects as their foundation and strictly adhered to the competition's international technical standards. Leveraging solid professional expertise, proficient software skills, and steady on-site adaptability, they remained composed and worked seamlessly together under time pressure. Through iterative optimization of modeling solutions and construction simulation workflows, they ultimately stood out among numerous international powerhouses, securing third prize and bringing international honor to the university. Advisors Yu Hongsheng and Gao Liyan provided dedicated guidance throughout the process, offering robust support to the team.

This competition not only fully demonstrates the university's profound teaching heritage and high-caliber talent cultivation in the field of Building Information Modeling (BIM), but also serves as a vivid example of the university's proactive response to the call for cultivating international skilled professionals and advancing its internationalization efforts. Building on this international competition victory, the university will further deepen educational reforms, strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, and consistently advance its educational model of “using competitions to enhance teaching, learning, and reform.” This approach will drive the precise alignment of program development with international industry standards, focusing on cultivating more high-caliber technical professionals equipped with global perspectives and robust skills.
