These reasons made the issue of training engineers an urgent demand to become qualified to enter the engineering labor market and help implement the construction projects the right way, especially that the reconstruction phase might take place in the near future. In the last decades, BIM proved to be of  a great help for engineering projects for it can integrate work withing projects and help engineers in all the project phases to introduce sound models and documentation with less time and more efficiency.  In this article, a survey has been used to measure different parts of engineering work reality to know how it would serve Syrian engineers in applying modern technologies and methodologies, like BIM, in their projects. This research would provide more knowledge about the engineering reality in Syrian companies, and thus it would open the door for preparing plans and strategies to get the Syrian companies more involved in adopting new technologies and methodologies, especially BIM, in their projects and training. The research showed that Syrian educational bodies need to allocate more time and effort to qualify engineers and help them keep up to date with the latest technologies. Also, Institutes are taking a huge amount of time to implement the digital transformation. All that is due to the lack of engineering and technological knowledge and experience that is influencing the AEC sector in Syria, where most engineers didn’t experience working in new-technology-and-methodology-based projects. This research is a sample from the work that is being done to survey greater segments from all the Syrian governorates, with the analysis of the engineering training and its importance in adopting BIM and digital modeling. 2022 2022 41 60 10.54216/IJBES.050103 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/22/show/1221
