Smart BIM: AI-Driven Project Design (DRFT 2101)
Building on foundational Building Information Modeling (BIM) competencies, students are introduced to working within a design team setting to create an integrated building model by applying the overall BIM project workflow, establishing project standards, and creating Project Execution Plans. Students explore the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance construction and design workflows, examining how AI-driven tools support model creation, coordination, clash detection, quantity takeoffs, scheduling, and decision-making across architectural, civil, structural, and steel construction contexts. Emphasis is placed on practical, industry-relevant applications rather than theoretical AI development.
