Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

differentiate BIM's principles and technological basics

evaluate the interoperability of BIM software products and differentiate standardised data formats

analyse the organisational and legal aspects of BIM-based collaboration

integrate BIM methodologies and tools in various life-cycle phases of a built facility by evaluating real-world case studies and practical BIM projects

create advanced BIM models using point cloud and AI technologies

visualise and analyse building designs in a virtual environment with AR and VR simulations.
