construction process. Usually,employers in the construction industry expect new employees to have a better capacity on newtechnologies. It is crucial that students in construction engineering programs have an opportunityto learn about the most current technologies that are used in the construction industry. BuildingInformation Modeling (BIM) is one of such technologies and has obviously been used by theconstruction industry. With BIM, the traditionally used two-dimensional (2D) drawings in theconstruction industry is replaced with a data-embedded three-dimensional (3D) model that candirectly generate lists of materials, quantity take-offs, preliminary schedules and of course the 2Ddrawings if necessary, working together with other computer software 1

VC2L.ConclusionBuilding Information Modeling is a process which aids the integration, collaboration and projectmanagement for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industries. Its benefit is beingseen in the construction industry and increasingly companies are adapting it. As the demandincreases, it is becoming even more important for a construction curriculum to allow thetraditional methods of education to incorporate technology and skills for future growth. To allowfor the existing heavy workload of the undergraduate program of Construction Management(CM) to absorb BIM, it is important to integrate it throughout the curriculum. As this methodicalchange happens, the existing skill level of the students who are not habitual users of thecomputer programs
