Directive 2014/24 / EU on public procurement establishes in 2014 at European level the need to use electronic systems (means of communication and tools to model building data) in contracting procedures of building works, services and supplies. In Spain, the Ministry of Development has established through its BIM commission, that as of December 2018 and July 2019, both public buildings and infrastructures under public ownership respectively, are projected in accordance with the BIM methodology. Under this schedule it was essential for the Spanish University to respond by implementing new disciplines, or adapting the existing ones, to achieve skills and competencies for the proper training of future professionals, as it is demanded in other European universities. For this reason, the Department of Building Technology of the ETS Edificación (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid), faced the difficulties of adapting existing disciplines and established a rigorous teacher training method, at an almost individual level. It was proposed a new optional subject that would allow interested students to get started on the BIM work methodology. This experience has been the only formal training established in the School of Building in the field of BIM. Once implemented, our first objective is clear: To study its level of implementation and to gauge the level of satisfaction among the students. In other words: To discuss the fulfillment of the purpose for which it was created, as well as to study different proposals regarding teaching intensification made by the students themselves. The results obtained are highly satisfactory and announce a very high demand by the students in order to intensify and incorporate BIM teaching as an essential tool for their studies and their professional development.
