TVET institutions, through Vocational College (KV) under the Construction Technology program, has introduced a course coded EDM 3012 Building Information Modeling (BIM) to cater to the growing demands of Malaysia's construction industry. However, are the lecturers truly prepared for this shift, particularly in Sabah, which statistics show is among the leading users of BIM technology in Malaysia? A study was carried out using a descriptive quantitative approach to explore the factors influencing Civil Technology lecturers in teaching the EDM 3012 Building Information Modeling course at Vocational Colleges in the Sabah zone. The study focused on three key areas: the lecturers’ competency and teaching experience, the availability of institutional facilities, and the effectiveness of teaching aids. The findings highlighted a significant need to enhance lecturers’ competencies, as many were found to lack the initiative to update their knowledge about BIM. This gap was largely due to their limited involvement in directly teaching the course. In summary, while lecturers may have specific teaching assignments, it is vital that they remain informed about other courses within their field. Knowledge is interconnected, and staying updated, especially within one’s own area of expertise, is crucial for progress.
