This work deals with an investigation into the current conditions of the university education of Civil Engineering students with regard to training in the use of the BIM (Building Information Modeling) platform on the national scene. Through bibliographical research and evaluation of questionnaires answered by professors from Brazilian universities, the main objective of this research was to identify pedagogical strategies for approaching the BIM platform in undergraduate Civil Engineering teaching, taking into account CES/CNE Resolution 11 (MEC, 2002). The results indicate that the strategy is to include BIM in the three core areas of the course curriculum, with each approach being compatible with the student’s level of education and training needs. Finally, this work, together with the others analyzed in the literature review, supports the teaching of BIM as an essential subject for training professionals in Civil Engineering.
