| Level 1 | ||||
| Take all of the following Mandatory Courses: | ||||
| BIMM-6001 | BIM Technology | 8 | ||
| In this course, students will explore the various Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies and practice BIM processes using BIM-enabled software. Autodesk Revit will be the primary platform used by students to further develop BIM models and apply advanced modeling techniques. | ||||
| BIMM-6002 | BIM Software Integration | 4 | ||
| In this course, students will explore BIM-enabled software and integration practices. Students will apply and integrate together models from different disciplines to further explore BIM's potential and collaboration capabilities. The focus will be on the integration of construction-specific models. | ||||
| MGMT-6099 | BIM Management 1 | 1.5 | ||
| In this course, students will research, explore, and apply BIM Management techniques. Students will synthesize the management of internal BIM models and apply collaboration methods to External BIM models & data. | ||||
| COMM-6019 | Advanced Professional Communication | 3 | ||
| This course focuses on refining and advancing students workplace communication abilities. The advanced communication documents and strategies covered include presentation skills, research skills, business document writing, meeting and management team strategies, business etiquette, and advanced employment communications. Additionally, students learn about interpersonal and intercultural communication (high/low and monochromic/polychromic context) concepts and strategies. | ||||
| MGMT-6100 | Integrated Practice for AEC Sector | 2 | ||
| In this course, students will investigate the emergence of BIM in the AEC sector. Discussions will focus on the applications of contractual methods common to the AEC sector and include the introduction of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) as a contractual method. The dependency of IPD on BIM will also be examined. | ||||
| Level 2 | ||||
| Take all of the following Mandatory Courses: | ||||
