Course Description
This course introduces Building Information Modeling (BIM) concepts and practices essential for modern construction and architecture professionals. BIM is a collaborative process that allows stakeholders to digitally manage building and infrastructure projects throughout their lifecycle. Students will explore fundamental BIM principles, including 3D modeling, data management, visualization, and collaboration tools. The course will cover the integration of BIM into architectural design, engineering, construction, and facility management processes. Practical applications and case studies will provide insights into how BIM enhances efficiency, accuracy, and communication in the construction industry. By the end of the course, students will have a foundational understanding of BIM workflows and be prepared to apply BIM concepts in real-world projects.
course designed to introduce students to the fundamental principles, methodologies, and applications of BIM in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries. BIM is a transformative technology that enables the creation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of buildings and infrastructure throughout their lifecycle.
