ENT-1680 Revit Architecture and BIM

Credits 3
This course provides an introduction to the concepts of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the tools for parametric building design and documentation. Students create integrated architectural project models and document their designs with linked two-dimensional drawings using Autodesk’s Revit Architecture. (May also be taken as a continuing education course, CST-440 Revit Architecture and BIM).
Prerequisite(s): Reading readiness
2 class/2 lab hours.
