The Advanced Topics in Building and Construction Information Management presents and demonstrates the latest technology advances in the digital built environment industry that utilise BIM applications. This unit follows the basic BIM units and takes steps further into the Industry 4.0 practices. Various advanced topics such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), digital twin, laser scanning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are discussed and synthesised in the construction projects lifecycle using case studies and tutorials.
1. Appraise the principles of Industry 4.0 and investigate the practical implications for digital design, construction and operation;
2. Synthesise the advanced and state-of-the-art knowledge, skills and practices to operationalise the digitally integrated built environment; and
3. Design advanced digital solutions for complex construction problems and implement research-based and best practice strategies for problem solving.
1. UC graduates are professional - work collaboratively as part of a team, negotiate, and resolve conflict
1. UC graduates are professional - employ up-to-date and relevant knowledge and skills
2. UC graduates are global citizens - think globally about issues in their profession
2. UC graduates are global citizens - make creative use of technology in their learning and professional lives
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - adapt to complexity, ambiguity and change by being flexible and keen to engage with new ideas
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - reflect on their own practice, updating and adapting their knowledge and skills for continual professional and academic development
