Impacto da nova estrutura curricular na integração da metodologia BIM no curso de Engenharia Civil – UFRN

Abstract

The integration of new technologies into Civil Engineering education has been a growing demand in response to legal requirements and recommendations, such as Decree No. 10,306/2020, which mandates the use of BIM in public works, and Resolution CNE/CES No. 2, dated April 24, 2019, which established the National Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Engineering Programs (Engineering DCNs). These regulations highlight the importance of equipping professionals with the skills to work with digital tools and interdisciplinary challenges. In this context, the inclusion of BIM methodology in the new curriculum structure becomes essential to align academic training with the labor market demands and ongoing transformations in the sector. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the impact of the new curriculum structure of the Civil Engineering program at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) in relation to BIM methodology, seeking to identify the opportunities and challenges of its implementation in the educational process, as well as its implications for the improvement of teaching and professional practice in the field.
