Many studies indicate that the need for professionals with BIM skills is undergoing a fast growth. This growth is giving rise to problems in the implementation of BIM in the sector: the main one is the lack of training of technicians in this area. The current university education is based on the acquisition of skills by students. In line with the requirements of the European Higher Education Area which calls competencies the skills to be acquired by the student. In this paper, the teaching experience of the implementation of BIM technology in the project subject is going to be explained. This subject is compulsory for the three disciplines of the Industrial Engineering Degree. The objective is to deduce if the teaching use of the BIM technology facilitates the acquisition of knowledge and improves the understanding of the subject. BIM education should focus on the development of basic knowledge, skills and attitudes of students. In addition, it is necessary to emphasize the need for construction industry technicians to have skills such as collaboration, communication, leadership and change management, along with technical skills related to BIM. The academic world plays an important role in transforming the industry driven by BIM. While government agencies and the private sector use BIM for new construction, university programs have been much slower in incorporating this technology. Universities are staying behind the construction industry in terms of adopting BIM technology in student training. Actually, the benefits and difficulties that has meant the implementation of BIM technology in the development of the subject is evaluated in this work: which aspects have improved and which aspects could be improved.
