Reality Capture for BIM is for professionals involved in the building and infrastructure sector, who want to upskill in 3D modelling.

To be eligible for this course, you should have a relevant bachelor’s degree or substantial work experience with organisations connected to Architecture, Engineering and Construction.

This project-based Melbourne MicroCert has been created in consultation with engineering design specialists, Arup.

Taught by leading academic practitioners in infrastructure engineering, you’ll gain highly relevant, practical insights you can apply to your current role.  You’ll also learn how the BIM concept empowers industry to develop sustainable solutions to infrastructure challenges, making you better equipped for your career going forward.

Learning is designed to ensure outcomes match the real-world needs of Australia’s booming infrastructure sector.

By the end of this Melbourne MicroCert, you’ll be able to:

• Analyse the challenges of 3D data collection, modelling and visualisation.
• Design an architectural BIM utilising data collection and visualisation techniques.

This Melbourne MicroCert runs over four weeks, including three weeks of teaching, and one week for assessment.

Your total time commitment is approximately 42.5 hours, which includes:

• 8 hours guided learning
• 4.5 hours self and peer learning
• 30 hours for assessment tasks.

Assessment:

• Design an architectural BIM from infrastructure in your workplace and provide a written brief detailing your chosen data collection method (100%).

Standard text: Once you've successfully completed this course, you will be awarded your Reality Capture for BIM Melbourne MicroCert. This digital certificate will warrant the achievement of knowledge, skills and capabilities outlined in the learning outcomes. It may also include artefacts (such as videos and written material) related to both experiential and work-integrated learning, including translatable assessment that is practical to your professional life. You can also share your Melbourne MicroCert digitally and via social media by adding it to your personal platforms, such as LinkedIn. See example certificate.

Reality Capture for BIM can be taken as a stand-alone course or complemented by two other Melbourne MicroCerts in the Building Information Modelling (BIM) series.

It also offers a pathway – otherwise known as advanced standing – into the Master of Spatial Engineering. To use it this way, you’ll need to complete all three Melbourne MicroCerts in the Building Information Modelling series.

This series includes:

• Basics of BIM
• Services Design Using BIM
• Reality Capture for BIM

To get the most out of this course, we recommend taking Basics of BIM first.

Taught by leading experts in the infrastructure engineering industry, this Melbourne MicroCert is delivered fully online, allowing you to study at your own pace, from a location convenient to you.

Throughout this project-based course, you’ll engage with other industry professionals, utilising a range of digital learning tools including videos, case studies, and virtual labs that bring key concepts to life.

You'll also contribute to the online discussion board and receive valuable guidance and feedback from your course facilitator throughout the course.

There is no set expiry date.
