It isinteresting to note that its breadth has increased dramatically not least because the number ofcommercially available materials has increased manifold in the last three decades. Teachingabout materials has therefore to cope with increasing content, and does so in a context where thecompetition for space in the engineering curricula by other disciplines is fierce.Interdisciplinarity is being pursued at both undergraduate2 and graduate3 levels. The search forinterdisciplinary knowledge has long been identified as mandatory for today’s technological andinnovation leaders. This is one of the goals of INCOSE, the CDIO Initiative and the multiplegraduate level programs worldwide. Akay calls in his

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
