ACQUIRING DIGITAL COMPETENCES FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The construction industry is currently undergoing a profound transformation in project management, led by the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Industry 4.0. BIM is central to modern construction project management and is at the heart of this change. Slovenian universities have adapted civil engineering curricula to equip students with essential digital skills. The paper describes in detail the experience in teaching BIM and advanced technologies, and thus describes the objectives of the subject, competences acquired, teaching methods and outcomes. The article emphasizes the importance of cutting-edge training and looks at BIMbased and Industry 4.0 courses. By integrating advanced methods into civil engineering education, graduates will be equipped with the digital skills they need for their future careers.
