Behavioural intention to use building Information modelling (BIM) among community college students in Malaysia

Building information modelling (BIM) is one of the new technologies being used in architectural and constructions projects. At present, BIM curricula are being taught in many Malaysian higher learning institutions, including at the certificate level in community colleges. Even though many studies ha...
