DigiLab for the Built Environment

- An Integrated Approach for Upgrading Digital Skills in Technical Education

DigiLab for the Built Environment

DigiLab/BE is a project funded by Erasmus+ Cooperation partnership in Higher Education (KA220-HED).

The project aims to create a digital platform which will allow students and the general public to learn how to create, use and learn from digital twins. This technology is in itself important as a development in 3D technologies, scanning and simulation, and is seeing increasing use in and interest from European and global industry.

Why?

Why?

Digital technologies are currently causing radical and dizzying changes. We are constantly experiencing this paradigm shift in our personal lives, through the devices with which we coexist. The same change is happening in our professional and educational lives, although perhaps a little slower. Companies are organisations with their own culture and often offer resistance to change. Educational institutions are generally organisations with a great deal of inertia, where changes and updates tend to be slow.

This is why companies, under pressure from the need to compete, often manage to adapt to
digital transformation more quickly than universities and other educational institutions. Even in technical and technological education, the gap between the academic and professional worlds is a reality.

Therefore, in this DIGILAB/BE project we intend to take a breakthrough technology that is radically changing the professions in the AEC field (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) such as the Digital Twin, break it down into its components, adapt them to the educational environment at different levels (EQF 5 and 6 mainly, but also 4) and turn it into a simulation tool similar to its role in industry, but as a means of also modernising the ways of teaching.
