The construction industry demands a new generation of professionals with the expertise to solve complex problems and manage new technological conditions. An approach that satisfies this need comprises integrating Industry 4.0 knowledge, building information modeling (BIM), and sustainability principles in construction education due to their collective potential to address the evolving demands and challenges of the construction industry. Each component brings benefits contributing to more efficient, innovative, and environmentally responsible construction practices and improving interdisciplinary project planning and control in collaborative environments. As of 2021, undergraduate construction management courses at Universidad Industrial de Santander (Bucaramanga, Colombia) include capstone design projects implementing BIM and sustainability. The capstone design projects require students to collaborate in person and remotely and develop autonomous learning skills to adapt to current technological tools. Through those projects, the authors identified the challenges and possibilities of proposing an academic training strategy to meet the needs of the construction industry. This study discusses the challenges, advantages, and disadvantages of including BIM and sustainability requirements in construction education and academic formation. Furthermore, other academic programs in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) disciplines seeking to implement improvement actions in their teaching-learning scenarios can reference these findings.
