What you will learn
Gain contemporary skills and knowledge for your job now.
Professionals collaborating on construction projects must design buildings that are safe, efficient, and comfortable for the people who occupy them. Integrating BIM with the core principles of service design makes this possible.
This Melbourne MicroCert is ideal for building services professionals seeking a strong grounding in how BIM interacts with the fundamentals of both service and engineering design to help bring buildings to life.
This project-based course has been endorsed by Arup, a global leader in the engineering design space.
Understand the core principles of service and engineering design
Gain a greater understanding of how application-focused principles in service design combine with engineering design’s science-driven approach to building sustainable infrastructure. Review industry case studies and discuss key examples with your peers.
Analyse the importance of MEPs in infrastructure
Learn to recognise the role and function of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems (MEP’s) in a building’s life cycle. Explore the design and installation process for MEP’s, you’ll identify an MEP system from your workplace as a foundation for your project.
Learn to integrate BIM models with MEP systems
Get valuable practical experience in preparing a BIM model for integration with an MEP system. Analyse the principles of service design, including MEP systems, and learn how they can be combined with the BIM process to help you design seamless infrastructure projects.
Develop an MEP based on the needs of your organisation
Apply the BIM process to your MEP model and use design software to give your project a visual context. Gain useful feedback from both your peers and your course instructor and put what you’ve learned into practice at your organisation.
Who you will learn from
Learn from skilled academic and professional experts who will share invaluable knowledge you can use in your job.
