CIVE 762 Advanced Building Information Modeling
This course addresses emerging technologies in the context of Project Management and Integrated Delivery, and includes modeling, visualization, 3D clash detection, digital site layout, 4D modeling, as-built model generation, and digital information management. This course will first introduce basic Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) and BIM concepts and review industry examples of how these concepts play out on design and construction projects. Students will learn advanced concepts of BIM through formal lectures, but they will also have the opportunity, through hands-on group projects, to apply the theoretical knowledge to development of a building project from conceptual design, through engineering and cost analyses, to detailed design and fabrication of models using rapid prototyping technology.
