CTC 222; Class Meeting Times T-TH (R) 8:00-10:00 am, Anderson #107 Prerequisites Graduate or blended students in the School of Engineering and Computer Science Texts: Eastman, Chuck, et al. BIM handbook: A guide to building information modeling for owners, managers, designers, engineers and contractors. John Wiley & Sons, Revit MEP User's Guide Revit Architecture User's Guide Office Hours MW 09:30 11:30 am Course Description (3 units) Course provides advanced knowledge of design, modeling, scheduling, resource allocation, time/cost tradeoffs, task coordination, team-building, progress monitoring, and post project assessment while using the latest BIM technologies. Students study lean construction and how to integrate BIM into the project delivery processes. Course Objective The objective of this course is to increase student knowledge in the design, modeling, scheduling, resource allocation, time/cost tradeoffs, task coordination, team-building, progress monitoring, and post project assessment while using the latest BIM technologies. In recent years, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become more integrated in the construction industry. Many corporations and firms have started investing on BIM technologies for their construction and building processes and pushing BIM education through universities. In this course students will learn the latest information on BIM technologies and how to integrate BIM into the project delivery processes. The goal of this course is to give students the opportunity to implement what they learn in the classroom in a real life project experience using experiential learning methods. A combination of software tutorials, lectures, case studies, discussions and construction technology laboratories will be provided to enhance student learning. Students will receive training with cutting-edge BIM estimating products including Autodesk Revit, Autodesk QTO, Design Builder, BIM 360 and Navisworks as they design and plan a final building project. During the course, workshop and training sessions will also be provided. This knowledge will facilitate career development in construction and engineering industries. To evaluate the success rate of this project, mentors from local construction companies will examine and provide feed-back on the student portfolios. The course is suitable for students from different disciplines that include civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering, engineering management.

6 Note: copies of student work may be retained for third parties to assess how the learning objectives of the course are being met. The specific outcome objectives for this course are for students to: 1. Create 3D models of construction assemblies and buildings in a CAD environment. 2. Develop the ability to create a parametric building information model and extract data. 3. Generate possible solutions for solving technical issues (energy efficiency, lighting, structural, etc.) during the planning process and decide on the best one. 4. Create construction documents, material takeoffs and building schedules as well as performance analysis. 5. Design, develop, implement, and test a hands-on project. 6. Perform interactive examination of 5D models (3D model, time and cost). 7. Participate in team-based exercises and problem solving; and 8. Develop written and oral communication skills as applied within an engineering and/or marketing context. Software The use of software will be an integral part of this course. Student versions of the Autodesk Software may be downloadable. The software includes computer-aided design, parametric modeling, databases, web technologies, design performance simulation and visualization. Use of Canvas This course will uses Canvas as a means of accessing course related information and communicating via with the entire class. The site is up and running. Each of you should be already enrolled in the class site. Policies and Grading The final course grade will be based on student performance on homework, project, midterm and final examinations. The procedures to be followed in determining the final grades are detailed in the Grading Procedure subsection. Graduate students need to submit additional work in order to count this course toward their degree program. The class has multiple out of campus site visit that students are required to attend. Assignments Homework assignments and solutions will be posted on Canvas. 1. All assignments must be turned in at the beginning of the class period in which they are due. Late assignments will receive a penalty of 20 points (out of 100) for each day overdue, and will not be accepted after solutions are posted. 2. Quizzes or in-class assignments may be given at any lecture or lab; no prior notice will be given. Midterm Test There will be a midterm test given during the semester, as shown in the class schedule. Except for very unusual circumstances, no make-up tests will be given unless the instructor was given prior notice that the student would not be able to take the scheduled test. Semester Project Students will work in a semester long, team based project. The project will be described in a separate handout distributed in the early weeks of the semester. Students will be assessed based on the weekly progress report, tasks and the execution of the final project.

7 Research Paper Students are required to Perform a comprehensive literature review related to the selected topic. Examples of the literature review may cover 1) What is the current status of the selected challenge in terms of application and implementation? 2) What are the potential benefits and changelings? Clearly describe your idea or application. Why is it so innovative that you would like to investigate it? Describe your implementation plan. For example, what software will you need? What additional programming will you need to do to connect BIM and GIS? Is it possible to be implemented? What are the features of your BIM model, which may be important for implementation? Grading Procedure The final course grade will be based on the following breakdown: Output Weight Assignment and quizzes 20% Midterm 20% Semester project 20% Research Paper 20% Final Examination 20% Final grades will be assigned as follows: / A- / A / / B- / B / B / / C- / C / C / D / D+ < 60 F The instructor reserves the right to revise the grading scale downwards if conditions warrant (e.g., award an 'A-' for an overall percentage of 89.0). Any changes will be applied uniformly to all students. Class Attendance Attendance at lectures is mandatory. Quizzes and/or participation bonuses may be given in any lecture or lab without prior notice, and make-ups will not be allowed. Students missing classes are responsible for getting lecture notes and handouts from their fellow students. Honor Code The Honor Code at the University of the Pacific calls upon each student to exhibit a high degree of maturity, responsibility, and personal integrity. Students are expected to: act honestly in all matters actively encourage academic integrity discourage any form of cheating or dishonesty by others inform the instructor and appropriate university administrator if she or he has a reasonable and good faith belief and substantial evidence that a violation of the Academic Honesty Policy has occurred. Violations will be referred to and investigated by the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards. If a student is found responsible, it will be documented as part of her or his permanent academic record. A student may receive a range of penalties, including failure of an assignment, failure of the course, suspension, or dismissal from the University. The Academic Honesty Policy is located in Tiger Lore and

8 online at Handbook-.html Accommodations for Students with Disabilities If you are a student with a disability who requires accommodations, please contact the Director of the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) for information on how to obtain an Accommodations Request Letter. 3-Step Accommodation Process 1. Student meets with the SSD Director and provides documentation and completes registration forms. 2. Student requests accommodation(s) each semester by completing the Request for Accommodations Form. 3. Student arranges to meet with his/her professors to discuss the accommodation(s) and to sign the Accommodation Request Letter To ensure timeliness of services, it is preferable that you obtain the accommodation letter(s) from the Office of SSD within 2 weeks of the start of the semester. After the instructor receives the accommodation letter, please schedule a meeting with the instructor during office hours or some other mutually convenient time to arrange the accommodation(s). The Office of Services for Students with Disabilities is located in the McCaffrey Center, Rm Phone: ssd@pacific.edu.
