Master's Degree in Continuing Education in BIM Applied to Building Construction
PRESENTATION
This program offers a comprehensive overview of BIM processes, from initial conception through the end of a project’s life cycle. It prepares students to tackle current and future challenges in the industry by driving digital transformation in how projects are conceived and executed. From the fundamental concepts of BIM and its applications to advanced modeling with Autodesk Revit, it equips you with the skills to create precise architectural, structural, and MEP models. This specialization enables you to use digital models for critical tasks such as project coordination, cost estimation, construction planning, health and safety management, and energy analysis. It helps you master the application of BIM methodology in every phase of design, development, and documentation generation, ensuring efficient and optimized execution. This master’s program establishes you as an expert capable of leading innovation in the construction sector, adding strategic value at every stage of the project and ensuring consistency and quality in the information generated.
Objectives
- To develop a comprehensive understanding of BIM principles and their strategic application throughout the life cycle of construction projects.
