BIM.advanced Advanced Topics in Building Information Modeling

In this course, we discuss current BIM research topics as well as the practical application of Building Information Modeling. We do this on the basis of presentations by professionals and joint discussions of current scientific research. After completing the module you will be able to:

• understand and analyze current scientific publications on Building Information Modeling
• perform scientific research in the area of Building Information Modeling

To pass the module, the students have to give a 20-min presentation. They can choose a topic from either a pre-defined list or suggest theirown topic. The students must perform intense research, study the respective publications in the domain and present their results in a comprehensive oral presentation, followed by a joint discussion. In addition, a 20-page report has to be submitted by the end of the semester. Depending on the number of attendees, one topic might be assigned to a team of two students.

The presentations can be given either in English or German, depending on the participants' choice. The course instructions and communication are in English.

The lectures given by industry professionals will be mainly in English. Nevertheless, only students capable of following a lecture in German should select this course.

Please note: BIM.fundamentals and BIM.project are not formal prerequisites of BIM.advanced. However, students should only attend BIM.advanced if they either completed BIM.fundamentals or already have a good understanding of BIM methods and software.
