Civil engineering is currently in the process of changes caused by the global development of modern digital tools supporting the design and construction of buildings. Creating digital twins and coordinating multi-discipline models allows you to achieve better quality of the designed facility and design documentation, avoiding misunderstandings, additional costs and wastage of resources during construction.

Digital building models are becoming the information database in approaches such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC). The use of templates, process diagrams, common data environment (CDE), automation of repetitive activities, modern work methodologies (Integrated Project Delivery, Integrated Concurrent Engineering) allow to increase work effi ciency and job satisfaction.

For this reason, engineers entering the labour market are expected not only to have skills related to managing information contained in digital models, but also to work with point clouds (obtained using laser scanners or drones), parametric modelling (sometimes also the use of programming languages, e.g., Python), working with devices using virtual or augmented reality (VR/AR) and various soft skills (extremely important in teamwork).

The Bachelor of Digital Construction course specializing in BIM trains students who are passionate about building in the creation of digital models. This new approach makes it possible to improve and optimize building working methods to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

After completing these studies, the student positioned as BIM modeller, BIM coordinator, BIM manager, facility manager, will have all the necessary background to become an expert in his fi eld.

Thanks to analytical skills, he can be proactive in identifying the best solutions while optimizing and securing working methods.
