Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Apply knowledge of the principles and practices of construction modelling and understand the cooperation and organisation roles within a BIM project team;
2. Construct models and understand procurement processes to achieve successful outcomes;
3. Assess how the principles of BIM-modelling are applied to a construction project on the basis of architectural and engineering drawings, cost estimates and construction program based on the information output from a BIM-model; and
4. Evaluate the application of BIM models to construction and design case studies.

Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Participation requirements
This is an intensive unit. Students who do not attend all classes will be at a strong disadvantage in terms of learning outcomes. It may be difficult to pass the unit without attending.
