This course providesstudents with the opportunity to work on a medium-size modeling/drafting project
using the latest architectural software. Emphasis is on the three-dimensionl drawing tools of the parametric Revit® software
program. Architectural computer models, rendering, and animation are important elements of the course. Students create photo
realistic computer images of buildings, components, and the project site.
STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
|Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to...|
- Demonstrate the appropriate software commands to create a 3D building model including the following assemblies: walls, floors, doors, windows, roofs, components, dimensions and stairs.
- Compose and print a sheet in a building model set.
- Demonstrate the loading of components into a building model.
- Create still renderings, perspective views and walk-through animations of a building model using Building Information Modeling (BIM) software.
- Import a vector-based reference drawing into a model file.
- Demonstrate oral and written communication, computation and problem-solving skills appro-priate to the level of the coursework.
- Prerequisites: "C" or higher in AEC 110 and in AEC 114.
- The course is open to AEC majors only.
- Roughly two hours of lecture/demonstration and one hour of lab per week. Much of the drawing work is completed outside of class time either at open lab times or at home.
- The course is typically offered only in the spring term.
- Besides a textbook, students need to purchase a flash drive for storing and transporting drawing files.
