The campus will remain closed until 12 noon Thursday, 02/13/25. Students should log into Canvas for specific class information from their instructors. Please contact event organizers for information on specific activities. Normal operations will resume at 12pm on Thursday.
The Building Information Modeling (BIM) at LTU is available online, as both an undergraduate and graduate certificate. It covers building information modeling and computer visualization, both of which play an increasingly important role in architecture, specifically building design, construction, and operation. With the help of cutting-edge computer software, building information modeling and computer visualization use 3D modeling techniques that integrate a building’s components – properties, location, geometry, spatial relationships, etc. The ability to visualize the project with BIM software increases productivity in the overall building process and improves communication between architects, engineers, contractors, and other key team members, making the project more efficient and economical.

Credits
Introduction to the principles and practices of Building Information Modeling (BIM). The fundamentals of BIM project organization and hierarchies, geometric organizational elements and component families. BIM tools are applied toward the creation of visualizations and graphical representations of the built form including orthographic and perspectival representations, and the integration of quantitative and graphical information to gain an understanding of the advantages and limitations of BIM.

3
Introduction to Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools and techniques pertaining to structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other service networks. BIM tools are applied to model the components of individual networks and gain an understanding of the integration of different networks within the building. The role of BIM as a collaborative platform between different disciplines in the building industry is explored.
