collaborative design processes::
This is a capstone
design course where students will learn methods of collaborative design
in the AEC industry enhanced by the use of Information Technology. Students
work in multi-disciplinary teams to collaborate from remote locations via
the Internet on the design of a facility. Team members from structural engineering,
architecture and construction management will generate designs while experimenting
with different work practices to take maximum advantage of information technology
using commercially available software. Students will also develop process
designs for the integration of technology into the work of multi-disciplinary
design teams. Upon leaving this course, students will be prepared to take
leadership roles in the design and implementation of new AEC work practices
supported by IT.
