The Master’s in BIM Applied to Civil Engineering is the strategic specialization for professionals in the construction and civil engineering sector who seek to master the BIM methodology and its procedures. This program addresses the transformation of the sector, where the adoption of the BIM methodology is crucial but presents challenges in its implementation. This program delves into the essence of BIM, going beyond the tool itself to focus on the critical procedures that ensure effective integration and proper implementation in civil engineering projects. Throughout this master’s program, you will master everything from an introduction to BIM methodology and an understanding of the ISO 19650 standard to the strategic implementation of BIM in companies and advanced data collection using point clouds. You will delve into the design and modeling of specific infrastructure projects using Revit, an essential skill for creating accurate 3D models and the early identification of potential problems. In addition, you will develop the skills needed for the management and interoperability of BIM projects, gaining an understanding of the key requirements that define success in collaborative and competitive bidding environments. This comprehensive approach prepares you to lead the digital transformation, ensuring that your mastery of BIM is not limited to technology alone but encompasses a holistic view of processes and people—essential elements for successful adoption in any civil engineering project, from the design phase through construction.
Objectives
• You will integrate a strategic vision for BIM implementation into civil engineering projects, covering all phases. • You will master BIM tools and software for linear and point-based projects, ensuring interoperability across platforms. • You will design and implement advanced BIM adoption processes for efficient management within organizations in the sector. • You will analyze and apply the international regulatory framework, including ISO 19650, and bidding procedures for BIM-focused projects. • You will manage the implementation of BIM systems in companies, identifying needs and developing transition strategies. • You will evaluate and apply advanced data collection techniques, such as point cloud capture, to generate accurate digital models. • You will competently model and design specific infrastructure projects, using tools such as Revit to create detailed digital representations. • You will lead the coordination of BIM projects, establishing clear requirements and optimizing interoperability to ensure seamless collaboration.
