OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS |
| Objectives of the Course Unit: |
The students will possess a basic knowledge of building integrated modelling. They will also understand the basic BIM tools. In this course, students will learn BIM’s use in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry (by different disciplines), examine geometry, spatial relationships, building information, quantities and properties of building components, and understand the benefit and improvement areas BIM process offers. |
| Contents of the Course Unit: |
Building Integrated Modeling (BIM) has been defined as a “project simulation consisting of the 3D models of the project components with links to all the required information connected with the projects’ planning, construction or operation, and decommissioning”. It is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility providing accurate 3D representation of a building and the capability to affiliate attributes and data to the components and objects that form the model. The concept of BIM is to construct a building virtually, prior to constructing it physically, in order to resolve and simulate any potential design conflicts. Students in a construction related area (Architectural, Engineering, Construction, Engineering Management) should learn the basic skills required to help them to understand graphical representations of construction projects, organize a 3D simulation model, create a model and handle all the data involved. The emphasis for those students should be on how to use models for construction analysis and improving construction efficiency, and the creation of BIM content. The course promotes project-based learning through cross-disciplinary collaboration. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is argued to be a catalyst for change poised to reduce industry's fragmentation, improve its efficiency, effectiveness and lower the high costs of inadequate interoperability. Students will learn BIM authoring and specialty applications for construction management functions including construction simulation (4D scheduling), model based estimating, interference checking and code compliance. This course covers the basic principles of BIM through the use of Autodesk's BIM solutions. Students are introduced to the tools of parametric modeling and cloud applications. |
KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to) |
| understand the history, principles and strategies underlying BIM |
| understand the functions, capabilities, and limitations of BIM tools |
| being able to develop, handle, manage and coordinate a BIM model |
| being able to carry out an interdisciplinary design and design review |
| understand the linking of virtual information |
| understand the shift from 2D representation to 3D simulation in construction business |
