Module Details

Module Code: INTR7019
Title: Revit MEP and BIM
Long Title: Revit MEP and BIM
NFQ Level: Intermediate
Valid From: Semester 1 - 2021/22 ( September 2021 )
Duration: 1 Semester
Credits: 5
Field of Study: 5213 - Interdisciplinary Engineering
Module Delivered in: 1 programme(s)
Module Description: This module will develop the learners knowledge of the multi-disciplinary nature of Building Information Modelling (BIM). The learner will become familiar with fundamental aspects of a BIM approach within the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sector. The focus for this module will be on the engineering services and construction elements of the building process and the practical application of relevant proprietary modelling software.
 
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to:
# Learning Outcome Description
LO1 Identify and create an appropriate Mechanical Electrical Plumbing (MEP) system within a 3D model of a building using proprietary software.
LO2 Manage multi-disciplinary project models within a common data environment (CDE) and assess constructability.
LO3 Extract the necessary information from a multi-disciplinary 3D model in order to develop associated 4D and 5D models.
LO4 Interpret as built laser scan points file to compare completed as built construction to virtual model.
LO5 Develop and present in an appropriate format the completed building information model data.

Module Recommendations

This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).
