ARCH 2050 - BIM for Building Profession

Credit Hours: 3.00

Prerequisites: None

(formerly ARCH 2015)

This course is for those entering the field of design and construction for the building profession. Students will construct a variety of drawings using the BIM, Building Information Modeling, software Revit to create 3D models of buildings. Students will develop a single digital model containing the project information that strengthens building design and documentation. The course will emphasize standards and techniques consistent with the building profession. Students will create hands-on drawings including plans, elevations, schedules, sections, and details for civil, architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical industries using building information modeling techniques. Students will create a course portfolio and be introduced to the Autodesk Certification process.
