Department
Drafting
School
Trades, Technology and Design
Description
Students are introduced to project information management in construction with a focus on structured data, digital workflows, and BIM-based collaboration (Meta Data). Building on industry standards for the organization and digitization of information related to architectural, mechanical, structural, or civil technology data, students apply Building Information Modeling (BIM) principles to information management practices, including standardized data structures, proposals, scheduling, and technical documentation. Students develop skills in managing project information and collaborating across disciplines to support efficient, consistent, and interoperable project delivery.
