Macro Analysis of Computing in Construction Education in Europe

Abstract: This study presents the first comprehensive mapping of construction computing education in Europe, analysing 187 validated institutions across 35 countries. Using a three-tier verification methodology, we examine geographic distribution, program characteristics, and curriculum content. A sensitivity analysis estimates that current programs (~13,900 annual graduates) meet 6-49% of workforce demand depending on digitalization assumptions. Key findings include geographic concentration in Western Europe (40% in DACH and British Isles), predominance of master’s programs (58.3%), and low ISO 19650 coverage (8.6%). These findings inform educational policy and workforce planning for EU construction digitalization.
