Emerging Technology in Civil & Building Engineering: BIM Fundamental

BACK

About

 

This program is designed for students of all levels who want to learn fundamental 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 core concepts, principles, and strategies to building projects. The course also includes hands-on workshops and project-based learning in the computer lab. 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.

 

Modeling

Students will learn to employ the popular BIM tool, Autodesk Revit, to develop parametric models, experience with collaborative working environment, measure quantities and identify properties of building components.

Industrial on-site visits

Industrial on-site visits will be arranged to increase students’ understanding to BIM applications through the discussion with BIM practitioners.

2023 Summer+ Programs

Emerging Technology in Civil & Building Engineering: BIM Fundamental (24th July ~ 11th August, 2023)

(Please be aware that the course will be taught in English and 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 be expected to complete a project. The schedule may be adjusted according to students’ levels and learning efficiency. The program will focus on the understanding of BIM theory and modeling.

Project-based learning

This course is designed to give students the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills through engaging project. Students will work together as a team to initiate their project in a designated off-site training spot, most likely an enjoyable recreational area first. They will then go back to the computer lab to construct and present their BIM models. In the end, they will discuss with BIM experts face-to-face after the project presentation.
