| Course Synopsis |
This course is designed to introduce the concept and principles of Building Information Modelling (BIM), the utilisation of BIM technology in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, and future trends of BIM developments. BIM is not only a technology that is dramatically changing the way AEC projects are delivered today, but also involves more integrated processes and parties (considering clients, designers and planners, owners and other stakeholders throughout the project life cycle). This course is also designed to expose the students in analysing, designing and developing the huge of data. It concerns on the management of information and how to model it in a structured manner. The used of database system as an application tool give the student a further step in order to apply an IT application in solving their problems. This course also exposes the knowledge on the usage, management and sharing of data and information to ensure that information is manipulated and used effectively. The aim of the course is to give students a practical, hands‐on introduction to BIM and data management techniques for the documentation and modelling of designed structures. At the end of the course, students should be able to plan, analyse, and modelling the data to develop the BIM model and data management related to civil engineering problems. |

Details on Innovative T&L Practices:
| No. | Type | Implementation |
| 1. | Active learning | Conducted through in-class activities |
| 2. | Project-based learning | Conducted through assignments and project. Students in a group of 4 are given 1 projects that require them to analysing and design the BIM and data management and finally developed using BIM software. Compliance to the design and development specifications need to be given in the form of written reports. |
