Aims and objectives
This capstone unit aims to have an applied/ work-integrated learning exposure of employing BIM and Digital Twins for sustainable buildings and infrastructure.
Unit Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to:
1. Generate and/ or associate nD BIM models and Digital Twins for planning and managing building and civil infrastructure works
2. Apply location-based management with 3D models and Digital Twins to optimise of earthwork mass hauls and operations in transport infrastructure projects
3. Use Digital Twins and/ or virtual reality/ mixed reality applications for risk analysis and value creation/ management
4. Appraise constructability and maintainability aspects and review sustainability measures in construction and infrastructure management
5. Employ and evaluate Digital Twins and digital technologies for sustainable operation and maintenance of constructed buildings and infrastructure assets
