About
This program is designed for students of intermediate-level to advanced-level who want to deepen their understanding of Building Information Modeling (BIM) knowledge and skills. In the course, top BIM researchers and experts in NTU will share their knowledge and experiences with students on BIM applications. The course also includes a series of project-based learning and in-depth group discussions. Industrial on-site visits are arranged for exploring practical BIM applications. On top of that, students will also experience local life through well organized tours.
BIM application
Students will broaden their experience in applying BIM knowledge to construction engineering and management with the consideration of sustainable development.

Industrial on-site visits
Industrial on-site visits will be arranged to help students to gain a deeper understanding to BIM applications through the discussion with BIM practitioners.

Course
2023 Summer+ Programs
Emerging Technology in Civil & Building Engineering: Implementation Practice (24th July ~ 11th August, 2023)
(Please be aware that all schedules are subject to change.)

Building Information Modeling (BIM) Course (3 NTU short-term program credits )
Students will study intensively for 3-6 hours per day throughout the 3 weeks program and a series of expert lectures. The schedule may be adjusted according to students’ levels and learning efficiency. The program will focus on the industrial application of BIM technology.
Project-based learning
This course is designed to provide students the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills by project engagement. Students will work together as a team to complete an assigned project. Through the project, they will experience critical issues, overcoming technical challenges, and achieve workable solutions. In the end, they will discuss with BIM experts face-to-face after the project presentation.
