About the course
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. This must be documented and presented to the company.
The course consists of the following four modules:
1a) BIM based software and IFC export / import for design (Autodesk Revit)
1b) GIS based software and export to different formats (Trimble Novapoint Base)
2) BIM based quality control software (Solibri Model Checker)
3) Information management (based on standards)
4) Opportunity study at a company (if you do not have a business, you can start with a situation description from a teacher)
Students can choose module 1a) or 1b). Implementation of the modules will depend on getting enough numbers on each module. Both of these modules cover the same learning outcomes.
Due to practical exercises, there is a case limit for the whole subject, and for distribution on Module 1a) or Module 1b).
The student must be able to use his own Gaming PC to run the latest version of Autodesk Revit or Trimble Novapoint Basis and Solibri Model Checker in order to participate in volunteer exercises.
The course is scheduled to be completed as a fallen autumn semester 2018 at Gløshaugen with a maximum of 20 students.
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. The course is designed for online teaching / collaboration with students and professionals at other places of education.
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, and will additionally include 3-5 digital
models from the project work
- oral presentation of approx. 15 min of project work in group, and
about. 5 min individual questionnaire (can be completed online for any foreign students)
- Knowledge tests (3-5 individual multiple choice tests). The results for the parts are given in %-scores, while the entire portfolio is assigned a letter grade. 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
Required previous knowledge
The course has limited attendance (20 students).
The student must be able to use his own Gaming PC to run the latest version of Autodesk Revit or Trimble Novapoint Basis and Solibri Model Checker in order to participate in volunteer exercises.
