Computational Visualization and BIM of Engineering Systems

(2 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This is an introductory course that focuses on integrating Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) techniques into the engineering workflow. We will be exploring a range of technologies used in civil engineering as well as other design disciplines. A substantial portion of the class will be dedicated to learning core concepts of technical drawing as used in different programs. At the end of this course, students will be proficient in CAD programs like AutoCAD, Civil 3D and Revit. We will also introduce the use of Revit in BIM (Building Information Modeling), and explore how these technologies are rapidly changing the whole construction industry.
