Description
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process focused on the development, use and transfer of a digital information model of a building project to improve the design, construction and operations of a project or portfolio of facilities.
This course introduces the student to working within a design team setting to create an integrated building model by applying overall process of developing a BIM project work flow, BIM project standards, and creating Project Execution Plans.

Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Contribute as part of a multidisciplinary design team
- Evaluate and apply a MEA (Model Element Author) table
- Evaluate and apply a LOD (Level of Development) table
- Create a Building Information Model of one of several disciplines within a building
- Combine individual models of each discipline to create a complete Building Information Model to represent a complete building
- Apply design BIM software (Autodesk Revit, Civil 3D and Navisworks), along with steel fabrication BIM software (Tekla Structures), to model and integrate the designed spaces
- Apply Integrated Design Process (IDP) to integrate people, systems, and practices into a process to reduce waste and optimize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication and construction
- Apply Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) processes to improve the cooperation, collaboration and communication throughout the design process
