Course Overview/Description
Course Overview/Description
The goal of this class is to familiarize students with the transformative role of civil integrated management and building information models (CIM/BIM) in the construction industry. Classwork will involve developing design requirements and specifications based on stakeholder needs, and delivering 3D/4D models that can support contract documents, using industry standard software applications such as Civil3D, Autodesk Revit and Navisworks. Throughout this process, students will be introduced to fundamental BIM theory, information management, visualization, smart sensing and tracking, and other advanced topics in the context of digital project delivery.

Grading Policies
Grading Policies
There is no "homework" and final exams - this is a project-based class requiring teamwork. Class time is divided into lecture and lab sessions. Students are highly recommended to bring their own laptops to the lab session in order to complete lab exercises. There are no “right answers” to the problems. Self-motivated creative thinking, working in teams and solution design are encouraged. You will be graded on your abilities as follows:
