Autodesk University Conference - June 2019

The Oxford Brookes Team with Henry Abanda (centre)

Dr Henry Abanda (Senior Lecturer in Construction IT at Oxford Brookes) mentored a group of students from the School of the Built Environment at Oxford Brookes for the first ever WorldSkills UK Building Information Management (BIM) - Regional Competition. The competition took place on the 18 June 2019 at the Autodesk University Conference (which took place in London from 17-19 June) where the team from Oxford Brookes competed with students from South Bank and Middlesex universities. There were 10 competitors, and Oxford Brookes came second (David Blahak) and first (Barbara Adamska) both are students on the MSc Building Information Modelling and Management (BIMM).

Oxford Brookes will now go forward to the national finals which will be held at the WorldSkills UK Live event at the NEC in Birmingham in November 2019...with the hope of winning spots to compete at the WorldSkills Shanghai 2021 (in September 2021).


Announcing the winners at the BIM Regional Competition

Also, three students from the MSc BIMM at Oxford Brookes (Barbara Adamska, David Blahak and David Amaya-Gonzalez) have also been successful in their Revit Certification Exam taken at the Autodesk University conference. This certification exam is quite prestigious and expensive - but our students took it free. Revit is being taught in the Advanced Technology and BIM module (as part of the MSc BIMM at Oxford Brookes).

Henry would like to thank all the students who participated in the Worldskills BIM Regional Competition and attended the Autodesk University Conference. He said: 'Your achievement in the BIM Regional Event and Revit Certification Exams is evidence of your hard work, a true reflection
of the quality of our BSc/MSc programmes and dedicated teaching staff in the School of the
Built Environment at Oxford Brookes University'.

There is a report on the event on the Autodesk news page here:
