COMPUTER AIDED CIVIL DRAWING (ENCE 204): Building Information Modeling
The Future of Construction: BIM
This chapter, Building Information Modeling (BIM), introduces students to the modern paradigm shift in civil engineering design and management. Unlike traditional CAD which focuses on geometry, BIM integrates geometry with crucial information (metadata) about building components.
The content covers the fundamental concepts, processes, and utilization of BIM in the construction industry. It highlights the differences between traditional Computer Aided Design (CAD) and BIM, emphasizing the collaborative benefits. Students will also learn about the global standards, regulations, and the importance of a Common Data Environment (CDE) for effective project management.
Understanding BIM is essential for future engineers to stay competitive and efficient in an increasingly digitized construction sector.
