Building Information Modelling (or BIM) is fast becoming an integral aspect of the construction industry. This new approach goes beyond the norms of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and opens up the possibility to integrate 3D modelling and digital information into the entire construction process. In this module you will critically investigate and analyse the theory behind BIM and how it is implemented throughout all phases of the design and construction process. We will look at the financial and business benefits that BIM can offer and how new emerging technologies and standards impact on its application for designers, constructors and facilities managers. In addition we will also look at the practical implementation of BIM through the use of industry standard software tools.

The aim of this module is to provide you a well-balanced fully aware sustainability management and development practitioners who are able to analyse and assess the essence of sustainability issues and to formulate the required strategy to implement practical sustainable development solutions in business and society. Sustainable engineering& nbsp;concerns the ability of delivering the product/services in an economically viable, socially responsible and environmentally sustainable way. This requires engineers to make optimum use of energy and materials, to mitigate any associated environmental, social and economic impacts, and to fully embrace concepts such as life cycle analysis, value for money, socially responsible, design for manufacturing and assembling within the design process. Industry requires a practical framework to meet the challenge of achieving sustainable development. This module aims to provide that framework by: providing an overview of methodology, technology and management tools that could be used to narrow the & lsquo;sustainable gap& rsquo;. developing an overall awareness of the real causes of environmental& nbsp;degradation and social responsibility. developing the awareness of the relevant scientific and engineering principles fundamental to the understanding of the problem and solution to this environmental degradation and social responsibility.

The aim of this module is to demonstrate the main principles, techniques and issues in transport systems engineering. The module is intended to develop your analysis and design skills and provide a systematic understanding of the impacts caused by the mobility of people and goods. This will be supported by the use of modelling and simulation software that will be an integral part of the module.

We are currently developing the Springfield Campus which will be Europe’s largest construction centre of excellence. Join us as the exciting development takes shape and from 2019/20 students in the School of Architecture and the Built environment will be taught from the new campus.
