CAD 216 — Building Information Modeling
Introduces Building Information Modeling (BIM), an intelligent model-based process that provides insight to help plan, design, construct, manage buildings and infrastructure through three dimensional models, and generate construction drawing sheet sets. Creates structures for analytical purposes such as visualization, quality take off, cost estimating, scheduling, coordination and facility management across various fields, including architectural, structural and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. Using BIM technology enables discovery of potential conflicts between these fields. Lecture: 2 credits (30 contact hours). Laboratory: 2 credits (60 contact hours).
