To address the demand for interdisciplinary BIM professionals under the Emerging Engineering Education (EEE) initiative and mitigate the prevalent deficiency in interdisciplinary collaboration competence (ICC) within current university BIM training programs, this study, using Nanyang Normal University as a case study, constructs an ICC cultivation model for BIM professionals within the EEE framework. Employing methodologies including literature review, questionnaire surveys, and practical case analysis, the research demonstrates that this model effectively enhances students' interdisciplinary knowledge integration, teamwork, and engineering practice capabilities through optimizing the curriculum system, strengthening interdisciplinary practice, and introducing industry-academia collaboration mechanisms. Empirical data reveal that students in the pilot cohort significantly outperformed their peers trained under traditional models in BIM project collaboration, with corporate feedback satisfaction increasing by approximately 25%. This research provides a replicable reform pathway for cultivating BIM talent at regional universities and offers practical evidence for deepening engineering education reform within the EEE context.
