Brief description of aims 

This course covers Building Information Modeling (BIM), including its use and application for small and large-scale building construction projects. Students will learn terminology associated with buildings, the theory and evolution of BIM, and how to develop BIM models using Autodesk Revit.

This course will also cover selected topics on how BIM is used to help prepare or feed into key project items, such as cost estimation, structural, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing) architectural renderings, interfererence checking, and modeling of energy consumption.
