Fall Courses
Fall Courses
This course is intended to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to plan for and use various emerging computing technologies in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry. Technologies, including building information modeling, will be explored to provide students with the skills needed for success as researchers and practitioners in this field.
Spring Courses
This course is intended to provide students with knowledge on using technology and planning for the use of technology in managing construction projects. Furthermore, it also aims to help students learn to plan for new and emerging technologies through their own independent research. The skills developed in this course will enable students’ success in planning for emerging technologies throughout their careers. building information modeling, including current computer programs and technology planning strategies for advanced project deliveries.
Prior Courses Taught
Michigan Technological University - CMG1200: Introduction to Building Information Modeling (BIM): Introduces students to Building Information Modeling (BIM) with an emphasis on the Autodesk Revit® & Navisworks® software applications (3D & 4D modeling).
Michigan Technological University - CMG2110: Building Utility Systems: Introduces the basic theories, materials and applications used in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing components of building systems. Specifically, HVAC systems and controls, water supply and drainage, electrical power distribution and lighting, fire detection, alarm, and communications in commercial buildings are studied. This course includes the interpretation of construction drawings and design projects.
University of Florida - BCN3252 Graphic Communication in Construction: Introduces students to construction communication tools including building information modeling (BIM), the use of computer-aided drafting (applications of 4-D modeling in construction), and blueprint reading.
University of Florida - BCN4252 Introduction to BIM and Technology Application in Construction: Familiarizes students with current BIM associated techniques (e.g., clash detection, quantity takeoff, rendering) and technologies (e.g., photogrammetry, UAVs, VR/AR) to identify design errors and improve construction processes.
