About the Course

The course provides knowledge and skills to handle and extract information stored in Building Information Models to further improve project workflows. Candidates learn to obtain information from Building Information Models and are provided skills to perform validation checks and clash detection in disciplinary and inter-disciplinary projects. The course also provides knowledge and practical application of industry approved file formats, documentation and safe file storage. The course builds on competence from Project Management and Model Coordination.

The aim of the course is to provide an understanding of tasks and challenges in the working life. Candidates work on inter-disciplinary projects based on industry practices and explore the preparation of 3D models for the various processes involved in collaborative projects, and Building Information Model projects, from start to finish.
 

Course Learning Outcomes
Knowledge

The candidate: 

  • has knowledge of open standards and processes that are used to improve inter-disciplinary Building Information Modelling projects.
  • has knowledge of processes and tools that are used to perform data extraction from Building information Models for verification and quality assurance.
  • can assess his/her own geometric clash detection in relation to disciplinary and inter-disciplinary building projects.
  • can assess his/her own inter-disciplinary collaboration and distribution of models and reports.
  • is familiar with the building industry and information handling in professional projects.
Skills

The candidate: 

  • has insight into relevant tools and techniques to perform disciplinary and inter-disciplinary clash detections.
  • can explain his/her own choice of data extractions for verification and quality assurance.
  • can reflect over his/her own preparation and communication of building models.
  • can find and refer to information on open standards and relevant file formats in Building Information Modelling projects.
General Competence

The candidate: 

  • can contribute to the planning and execution of inter-disciplinary Building Information Modelling projects, alone or as part of a group.

  • can contribute to the development of optimised workflows in inter-disciplinary building projects.
Learning Activities

Digital Learning Resources
The learning management system (LMS) is the primary learning platform where students access most of their course materials. The content is presented in various formats, such as text, images, models, videos or podcasts. Each course follows a progression plan, designed to lead students through weekly modules at their own pace. Exercises and assignments (individual or in groups) are embedded throughout the courses to support continuous practice and assessment of the learning outcomes.

Campus Resources
In addition to the digital learning resources, campus students participate in physical learning activities led by teachers as part of the overall delivery.

Guidance
Guidance and feedback from teachers support students' learning journeys, and may be provided synchronously or asynchronously, individually or in groups, via text, video or in-person feedback.
