Due to Covid-19:

Due to the high spreading of Covid-19 virus and the decision from government today (20220112), we decided that we  will have at least the first two weeks on-line. Omicron seams to spread very easy and be 60 pensions in one computer-lab or classroom is not good in that context. If we go for hybrid or spread the class in different computer-labs is our experience that this is difficult conduct. Please spread out on campus or stay at home and we will have the supervision of the computer labs/BIMLabs through zoom.

The lectures will be conduct digitally, either through zoom lectures (live stream) or upload recorded lectures or a combination.

Sorry for this and hopefully we could have everything on campus in a couple of weeks and we can have an ongoing discussion and feedback about this during the course.

I also want to remind you that known cases of covid-19 in a course should be reported to corona@chalmers.se and please also email me also (roupe@chalmers.se). In that way we can do weekly risk analyses for the course and plan when it is time to go back to campus.

Objective

The students shall understand the complexity of integrating different professional disciplines as well as engaging stakeholders in the design process in order to be able to develop a skill in managing the design process in the construction sector. The long-term objective of the course is to add to the development of design management as a value adding activity.

Learning outcomes

At the end of this course the students shall be able to:

• Understand and be able to describe:
  • the complex challenges of a multidisciplinary process of design
  • the role of the design management process in construction
  • to discuss the challenges in the design management process
  • the Building Information Modeling (BIM) concept and it´s opportunities and implications in the design process and the management of it

 

• Be familiar with and able
  • to describe and discuss the roles and actors in the design processes
  • to describe design theory and being able to discuss design processes and actions in it
  • to describe, use and discuss design methodology and tools
  • to take part in a multi-disciplinary team of building-design
  • to describe and discuss project management using BIM in the design process  

• Communicate with other actors in the planning processes in a professional way

 

Content Description

The course contains lectures addressing design theory, design methods and design tools, including BIM, TotalBIM, Integrated Project Delivery, focusing on how they are managed to lead and manage the design process.

Project tasks and exercises designed to teach the student to elements of the design process and how to use BIM in this process. Collaboration, communication and integration between different disciplines are the focus.

Assignments:

Assignment 1:  See separate document “BOM 185 Assignment 1”, at Canvas.

(Submit at Canvas, Deadline 21/2 17:00)

 

Assignment 2:  See separate document “BOM 185 Assignment 2”, at Canvas.

(Submit at Canvas, Deadline 18/3 17:00)

 

BIM project: Automatic BIM-Based Quality Control: See separate document at Canvas under “BIM project: Automatic BIM-Based Quality Control”.

(Presented during computer lab, Deadline 3/3 09:00-11.45)

 

Computer Labs: BIM-Lab 1-6 see separate document at Canvas under “BIM Labs”.

For students that have taken “BOM240 Ingenjörsmetodik CAD” and ”ARK212 Digitala verktyg – BIM”:

Students that have taken our BIM courses earlier were we have some overlapping in the BIMlabs. It´s students which has taken “BOM240 Ingenjörsmetodik CAD” and ARK212 Digitala verktyg - BIM.  If you feel you need the repetition of the knowledge and BIMlabs it is OK by us, but if you want new knowledge and more challenges, we have design a new project/assignment of doing more advanced BIM. The BIMLab assignment is to do a TotelBIM project for these students. In this case you have two options:

Alt 1: Do all BIM labs, BIM projects like everyone else in the class. (the repetition option)

Alt 2: Make BIM-lab 6 + BIM project, + TotalBIM-adapted Installation export according to: TotalBIM -"Procurement and production via model".

EXAMINATION

The course is graded Pass/No Pass.

Assignment 1 is graded no pass/pass. It is a compulsory assignment. If not completed a complementing assignment will have to be done.

Assignment 2 is graded no pass/pass. To pass the course both assignments have to be completed. Grading criteria for assignment 2 are described in document describing assignment 2.

Computer Labs is graded no pass/pass.
