Extended Education seeks an expert in Building Information Modeling (BIM) to work with our in-house curriculum design experts to develop curriculum for the course, Special Topics in BIM (EEAS 0142) in the program Certificate in Building Information Modeling (BIM) Management.
Topics may include, but will not be restricted to:
- Design for Manufacture: Practices that integrate off-site manufacturing of building components and on-site assembly in the BIM design process. Possibility of a field trip.
- BIM based analysis: The use of BIM data in constructing a model for simulation and analysis, and the automation of this process. Types of simulation could include building energy, daylighting, and assembly sequence (4D simulation). Applicable across multiple project types.
- Interoperability of BIM data formats: The exchange of building information between BIM authoring platforms, discipline-specific modeling tools and related software. This topic addresses specific interoperability challenges and methods for improving data interoperability in practice.
- IoT and the Smart City: This topic addresses the role of BIM in realizing the benefits of an ‘Internet of Things’ in the construction and operation of buildings, as well as the potential of BIM data to support the design and operation of smart cities.
- Computational Design: The use of computational methods including parametric design and generative algorithms to produce building forms that are efficient to construct and operate.
- Virtual, augmented reality and mixed reality: The use of BIM data to generate VR and AR content for communication and collaboration.
- BIM and 3D Printing: The use of BIM data to support the construction of buildings through a process large-scale 3D printing and/or small-scale 3D printing of building components.
The course content may be selected and tailored for a specific discipline (e.g., emphasizing discipline-specific process or software), depending on instructor expertise and participant interest for a given offering.
