Abstract
Building Information Modeling (BIM), as a methodology, has been coming essential; supporting the development of multitasks within the construction industry, including concept/design, construction work planning/scheduling, or maintenance/management of buildings. In the construction industry, BIM has automated processes offering a great advantage in decreasing discrepancies between the as-planned and as-built models, saving money and time, and contributing to avoid errors, to limit risks, and to reduce costs divergences. Currently, students of Architecture and Engineering should take advantage of the new job opportunities that are emerging around the process of the global adoption of BIM, complementing there training with BIM knowledge. In addition, practicing professionals should acquire competencies in BIM allowing them to be able to participate in the process of profound transformation that the construction sector is now experiencing. Improving competitiveness in the construction industry is needed. BIM education responsibility should be shared between industry and academia in order that the introducing of BIM education in academia can reach distinct objectives related with specific masters or professional needs. The text describes the research conducted on the analysis of curricula within Civil Engineering schools with incidence in specialization courses and in workshops offered outside aimed at professionals of the construction sector.
