Course history

Introduction

The development of sustainable, innovative building solutions relies on information from many sources and advanced calculations with good visualisations. It is not possible to achieve this without using building information modelling (BIM) and processes adapted to the use of digital tools. The course supports the operational use of the knowledge and skills that the students have acquired in the other courses in the programme.

The course provides a thorough review of the concept of BIM. It provides an overview of the development of digital programs, principles and processes and shows how BIM-based solutions can be used in different contexts. The course focuses on topics such as digital planning for the whole service life of a building (cradle to grave), BIM-based design and building processes, and BIM as a driving force for innovation and sustainability. The teaching emphasises cooperation with business and industry in the form of active enterprises, professional environments and research communities in the Oslo region.

Required preliminary courses

en sensor og en medsensor (vurderer et utvalg av eksamensoppgavene). Ekstern sensor brukes jevnlig

Learning outcomes

For bachelorstudentene: Bestått alle emner i 1.år faglærer i kunst, design og håndverk inkludert praksisopplæring fra 1. studieår, eller tilsvarende emner fra andre faglærerstudier.

Teaching and learning methods

The teaching will consist of participation in lectures, discussions and independent project assignment work. Exercises and individual knowledge tests (multiple choice) will be added continuously during the first part of the teaching period. Practical use of BIM-based software for the collection of information, calculations and assessments and presentation of solutions is taught by means of brief courses, self-study and exercises.

The students will work in groups of 3-5 on developing solutions and proposing measures for implementation. The work shall be presented as an academic project report. Emphasis is placed on identifying innovative ways of working and cooperating.

Course requirements

Assessment

Portfolio assessment subject to the following requirements:

1. Individual Revit project (deliver file with BIM model), weighted approx. 30 %

2. 3-5 individual knowledge tests, the average score of the tests combined is weighted a total of approx. 30 %

3. Academic report prepared in groups of 3-5 students, approx. 10-15 pages, weighted approx. 40 %.

Each student's work will be assessed together as a portfolio with one individual grade at the end of the semester, but the three parts that make up the portfolio must be assessed as 'pass' in order for the student to pass the course. The weights are approximate and included here to provide additional information to the students on how their work is assessed. The size of the group will be taken into account when assessing the group report. Students who are absent from individual knowledge tests may be given up to one opportunity to take a new knowledge test. Alternatively, the student may submit one written report if he or she is prevented from attending the knowledge test. Detailed guidelines for the project assignment will be published in Canvas.

The overall assessment can be appealed. If a student fails the portfolio assessment, he/she is given one opportunity to resubmit the portfolio.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

All aids are permitted.

Grading scale

A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (A is the highest grade and E is the lowest) and F for fail is used in connection with the final assessment.

Examiners

One internal examiner.

External examiners are used regularly.
