Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology is essential to modern information-based development of hydraulic and hydropower engineering industry. In this paper, we summarized the application advantages and current situation of BIM technology in design, construction, management, check upon delivery, operation and maintenance of hydraulic and hydropower engineering projects. We developed the all-time“3+1”BIM curriculum for hydraulic and hydropower engineering program, including basic theoretical course group, individual professional training course group, comprehensive curriculum-end (graduation) design's advance course group. In accordance with teacher resources, curriculum resources and teaching methods, we proposed the solutions to improve the BIM curriculum pedagogy for hydraulic and hydropower engineering program. This study is supposed to promote the curriculum development as well as offer guidance and a model for the whole curriculum system.
