Abstract
The attention of Civil Engineering is currently oriented to the methodology Building Information Modelling (BIM), a new concept that is based on recent scientific advances concerning the ability of computer systems to store, manage and manipulate large amounts of information, and established as the big breakthrough in the construction industry. Being the school the main actor in the formation of new engineers, it has the mission to offer disciplines or training workshops to prepare students for the professional activity, giving the knowledge concerning the current most advanced computer technology. In the context of implementing BIM, the future engineer should acquire the ability to apply basic BIM tools in different domains and recognize the advantages in developing collaborative projects provided by BIM platforms. In Portugal, the involvement in terms of design offices and construction companies, have been growing and as so this interest the Construction industry is an incentive that justifies the inclusion of BIM within the curriculum of the Master Course of Civil Engineering.
