Introduction to the Education and Training Support

Introduction to the Education and Training Support

Vision

To drive the use of BIM (building information models) and interoperability to the mainstream property and construction industry

Objectives

  • To specify education and training requirements from the perspective of end users
  • To identify education and training opportunities for vendors based on end user requirements
  • To identify education and training opportunities for academic institutions and industry groups based on end user requirements
  • To set up a responsive structure in IAI to work and collaborate on education and training issues

BENV1141 Computers & Information Technology

(introduces concept of BIM/product modelling and interoperability)

Year 1 general intro to computing for all disciplines in the Faculty:

architecture, interior, building, landscape & industrial design.

BENV1242 Computer Aided Design
(CAD is taught as a BIM process: building a 3D model and extracting the

2D drawings)
Year 2 course for architecture and interior architecture.

BENV2133 Design Collaboration using BIM
(around 10 different IFC compliant applications are used to support up to four multidisciplinary design teams working on a

building project)
Senior

cross-disciplinary elective course with students from engineering, built environment and fine arts faculties all working in teams on a design

collaboration process.

BENV7148 Object Based CAD Modelling

(postgraduate coursework course on the principles of BIM and interoperability using IFC)
Mainly postgraduate students specialising in architectural computing studies.


There is also some coverage of BIM and IFC concepts in advanced computing courses in the Building Construction Management programs at both UG and PG level.

CNB227 – Computer Studies

CNB227 is

a compulsory subject for Year 2 students
CNB420 – Current Construction Issues CNB420 is an elective subject for Year 4 students

These subjects are part of the Construction Management course. They focus on interoperability in the construction industry, and it’s

relationship to construction management.

Virtual Construction

The eBygg Centre for Information Technology in Construction at Luleå University of Technology arranges a course in virtual construction in collaboration with the ITC Euromaster program during April to June 2006. The course provides an overview of planning and virtual design methods for construction, with a special focus on simulations with 4D CAD technology (3D CAD + time). IFC is covered by the course.

The course is in the ITC Euromaster program for the final year at the

university.
