3 credits · Graduate

This advanced course focuses on industry-specific topics, including Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA), with a strong emphasis on their role in Building Information Modelling (BIM) as they relate to construction and engineering. New emerging trends of parametric design are also explored and further investigated for their role in state-of-the-art projects. The roles that interoperability, data exchange, and sharing have in the industry are discussed within the BIM context. Preclusion(s): ENGR 450-3, IENG 650-3
