Course Description

This course uses Building Information Modeling (BIM) with multidisciplinary applications (Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) and project management tools to create an integrated 3-dimensional architectural model. PCs with Autodesk Revit and other software will be used and instruction will focus on coordinating one or more disciplines in a collaborative environment. ADVISORY: ARCH A156. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Students will use current BIM and related software to collaboratively develop the components of an architectural model and the related multidisciplinary systems (Structure, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing). Students will also use management and workflow software tools as appropriate to the project at a skilled professional level, as evaluated by the instructor.

Course Objectives

• 1. Use Building Information Modeling as a construction and design tool for one of the following disciplines: Structural / Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing.
• 2. Use BIM software to coordinate one of the following models: Structural / Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing with the architectural model.
• 3. Use the design features of BIM for one of the following models: Structural / Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing.
• 4. Use BIM and related project management software for construction coordination and documentation of a multi-disciplinary project.
• 5. Have a basic understanding of how NavisWorks, BlueBeam and/or comparable software is used for construction administration and workflow of a multi-disciplinary project.
