Introducing BIM in Curricular Programs of Civil Engineering

Abstract

 Building information modeling, or BIM, helps professionals in civil engineering to meet digital needs and collaborate and
 integrate on project development and building maintenance. The construction sector is now the primary focus of research and
 implementation of BIM technique, and educational institutions have been investigating the inclusion of this topic in
 curriculum. As aspiring professionals, civil engineering and architecture students need to keep up with the latest cutting-edge
 information and technologies. The main concepts and practices of the didactic strategies used to insert BIM teachings are
 similar across a number of academies that are better classified within the architecture and engineering sector. However,
 depending on the level of expertise of the school, the aspects related to architecture, structures, construction, or planning are
 taught in greater detail. The main subjects were discussed, along with the professional courses offered to architects and
 engineers, as well as the level cycles of introduction to BIM (bachelor, master, or postgraduate). Characterizing BIM
 education at various academies is the main goal of the curriculum study. In order to assist BIM instructors in their work, a list
 of activities and subjects that encourage a sufficient upgrading of the students' abilities was accomplished.
