Abstract
The increasing digitization of the construction industry creates an urgent need for construction managers to be proficient in Building Information Modeling (BIM) and information systems. This paper investigates how to integrate these topics effectively into a broad and diverse Construction Management and Engineering (CME) master’s curriculum. This has led to a flexible educational model that balances theoretical grounding with hands-on project work. The findings show that while a single course can successfully raise awareness and introduce key concepts, students sometimes struggle with abstract modeling and data management topics. Nevertheless, the approach can indeed foster deeper engagement and inspire further exploration.
