The revolution in the project market in the areas of engineering and architecture took place with the development and expansion of graphic software, starting in the 60's. Computer Aided Design (CAD) was the precursor software that allowed the migration of manual projects to the computer. Over the years, the software has been improving and currently there is the Building Information Modeling - Building Information Modeling (BIM), an integrated technology of various software that ranges from the design phase to the construction process as a whole. These graphics software are commonly included in the menus of undergraduate courses in Civil Engineering and Architecture. Since the CAD software and the BIM system software present differences in terms of available resources and acquisition cost, a survey of Higher Education Institutions (IES) that offer these courses in the State of Alagoas was carried out in order to identify which of these software are most used today. For this, contact was established with the coordinators of the respective courses and an electronic form was sent regarding the use of graphic software in the curricular components. A tendency to use CAD system software was diagnosed, followed by BIM system software, with AutoCAD and Revit standing out, considering that they are the most common in the market, in addition to being made available free of charge to students by the IES registered with the AutoDesk. The IES claimed to dialogue with the labor market to understand the demands of the sector and seek to train professionals with the profile necessary for current trends. It was also discussed with the IES about the importance of prioritizing the incorporation of graphic software innovations in the Political- Pedagogical Project of the courses and they showed to be engaged in this innovation process.ptAttribution 3.0 BrazilInstituições de ensino superiorSoftwares gráficosEducaçãoIndústria da arquiteturaEngenharia e construçãohigher education institutionsGraphics softwareEducationArchitectureEngineering and construction industryTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoENGENHARIAS
