BIM Fundamentals for Engineers

The shift from drawings to objects

The course begins with how engineering moved from traditional 2D drawings to object-based modeling, the core idea behind BIM. Understanding that change first makes the later tool work easier to place in context.

Applications across sectors

The description ties BIM to projects in airports, residential and commercial buildings, water treatment plants, substations and transportation. Seeing the same principles across such different asset types shows how far the method reaches beyond building design.
