BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM)

CIVENGR 360

Introduction to the parts and pieces of a building at the construction level. How a building is built from start to finish, and how the individual building systems affect one another. Systems, how they interact, design and construction, cost implications, schedule implications.

CIVENGR 497

Introduction to building mechanical systems. Plumbing, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, fire protection, automation/controls and process systems. Introduction to mechanical systems design and cost estimating. Mechanical system management.

CIVENGR 151

Introduction to architecture and architectural making. 2D and 3D form and space tested through the theoretical, pragmatic, and contextual issues that influence architecture.

CIVENGR 451

Introduction to building design, its methods, tools and processes and the interface with other professionals in building design and construction. Buildings as an integrated system of components, assemblies and sub-systems, including: structure, enclosure, internal finish and furnishing, circulation, conveyance and mechanical systems. Pragmatic design elements that make a project sustainable, energy efficient and comfortable, including; fenestration options, daylighting, passive heating and cooling, energy efficiency and other lower impact approaches identified in LEED standards.

CIVENGR 492

Principles of estimating and scheduling for the construction industry, engineer's preliminary and final estimates' quantity take offs and cost and duration determinations for major items related to a construction project; use manual and computer techniques.
