CGN – 4905/6905 Construction Modeling and Simulation (dual list)

Syllabus – Construction Modeling and Simulation

Overview: Exploration of data-rich, object-oriented, and parametric representation technologies of civil engineering facilities, from which views and information can be extracted and analyzed for construction project acquisition, planning, and controls. Topics include Building Information Modeling (BIM) for engineering design, model-driven cost estimating, construction operations simulation, scanning and photogrammetry technologies, and advanced topics in construction modeling and simulation.

NOTE: This class will focus on the applications of BIM. No previous knowledge required.
