Course content

The increasing digitization of the construction, construction and real estate industry (BAE) requires a new type of expertise. In this course, the student will explore new technology, or new combinations of technology and work processes. The learning is based on a real problem for a BAE (problem owner) business, the students jointly prepare a joint proposal for a solution. In addition, each individual has to make his own solution after a self-chosen specialization.

The course consists of the following four modules: 1) BIM based software and IFC export / import for design (Autodesk Revit) 2) BIM based quality control software (Solibri Model Checker) 3) Information management (based on standards) 4) Feasibility study.

Learning outcome

After completing this course, the student has the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge
The student has
- knowledge of how the future engineering tasks can be solved with the support of digital technology and changing work processes
- knowledge of how Industry 4.0 can affect future engineering tasks
- knowledge of interoperability
- organizations working on digitizing the BAE industry
- research in digitization / building information modelling (BIM)

Skill
The student can:
- use digital tools to solve engineering tasks
- specify information delivery using ISO29481-1
- specify a BIM Implementation Plan ISO 19650-1

General competence
The student can:
- use digital tools in practical solution of engineering tasks
- collaborate with other professionals and users with the support of digital technology for presentation and information exchange

Learning methods and activities

Project - and problem-based learning that includes lectures, project work on own computer, exercises, group work and self-study. Parts of the course implementation will be collection based. Teaching on campus is mainly conducted as module-based with concentrated teaching over 2 days. Since this is an elective course, it must be expected that it may be difficult to avoid conflicts with times for other teaching. There is no compulsory attendance, but challenging academic requirements for submitted work, as well as active work individually and in groups.

Further on evaluation

The folder is prepared in groups of 2-4 students. The rating folder includes: - preparation of a consultant report, approx. 20-30 pages, 3-5 digital models from the project work, results of the best two of three knowledge tests, and a digital presentation or video of approx. 5 min. of the most important findings from the feasibility study. The results for the parts are given in %-scores, while the entire portfolio is assigned a letter grade and is given individually. Emphasis is placed on a comprehensive assessment of all works included in the folder. Detailed guidelines for the project tasks will be published in Blackboard / LMS.

Specific conditions

Admission to a programme of study is required:
Civil and Environmental Engineering (MTBYGG)

Required previous knowledge

The student must be able to use his own PC to run the latest version of Autodesk Revit and Solibri Model Checker in order to participate in volunteer exercises.
