Course specific prerequisites

Swedish.

Aim

To learn modelling in three dimensions with the aid of the programs available.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

Use digital BIM tools to create 3D models of buildings.
Understand the basics for use of BIM in a building design
Evaluate and explain the value of different modeling methods and how the results can be communicated.

Content

The course have focus on the tools but great awareness in the use both in education and in professional life is encouraged as well as a critical approach.

Examination including compulsory elements

In order to pass the course examination presence at the lectures and exercises and completed and approved studio work is required. If the result is not considered as a pass in the course, then supplementation must be completed in accordance to written instructions and assessed in the next subsequent re-examination period. If this primary supplementation does not result in a pass and further supplementation is then required, this will also be notified in writing. This secondary supplementation will be assessed in the subsequent re-examination period. If the additions are then not deemed sufficient for passing the course, the course should be retaken.

The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
