Course content

The increasing digitalisation of the building, construction and real estate industry (BAE) requires a new type of competence. In this course, students will explore new digital technologies and work / collaboration processes such as Virtual Design and Construction (VDC). The students work in a group of 2-4 and will carry out a feasibility study that results in a consultant report and a digital presentation of an innovative digital solution.

Learning outcome

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

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

Skills The student can: - use digital tools to solve engineering tasks - identify challenges and suggest solutions in the form of a feasibility study

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 - experience with the use of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) for solving project-based tasks

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 is adapted to support project implementation, with most teaching in the first part of the semester and most guidance in the last part. Teaching and supervision will be a combination of campus and online. 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 report consists of a feasibility study (consultant report of 20-40 pages + any attachments) and a digital presentation or video (max 5 min.) showing the essence of the feasibility study. The report and digital presentation is written in groups of 2-4 students, individual reports only after permission by the course coordinator In addition, 3 individual exercises and 3 individual knowledge tests are included, where the two best of each count in the grade assessment. The parts of the assessment will be given a percentage score and the whole portfolio will be graded with a letter grade.

Required previous knowledge

Valgemnet er åpent for alle studenter som har interesse for digitalisering av bygg-, anlegg og eiendomsnæringen - og eget studium ved NTNU. Det arrangeres frivillige kurs i bruk av BIM basert programvare som f.eks: Autodesk (Revit) Solibri (Office/checker) og Trimble (ulike programmer). Det er en fordel om studentene har tilgang til egen PC for bruk av BIM-baserte programvare.
