Tendency to use numerical methods to solve practical and research tasks of construction engineering makes the question of engineering simulation software implementation in the educational process of the university. Paper considers the authors developed methodical instructions to laboratory work integrated system for students of "Civil engineering" educational program. The basis of laboratory work is the principle of comparison results obtained when considering different models of the object: analytical, physical and numerical. The main part of a works is instruction of making numerical models of nodes and construction elements using the CAE system SCAD Office.
