Program Description This one-year Ontario College Graduate Certificate prepares students to manage data, processes and deliverables from a life cycle perspective within the architecture/ engineering/construction/owner/operator (A/E/C/O/O) industry. Students focus on data-centric methods of practice in this innovative and evolving field in the context of regional, national and international developments. Utilizing a hands-on approach, students merge theoretical study with applied practice to develop a specialization in current BIM management techniques that support improvements in productivity across the construction and facilities industries.
Students develop knowledge and skills using emerging technology coupled with industry standards to achieve competency in workflow management, information exchange, collaboration and coordination, and compliance with legal requirements, quality standards and operational needs. By leveraging existing experience with the tools and techniques for model creation, the program emphasizes the function and role of BIM principles, processes and operational requirements needed for effective and efficient life cycle management practices.
Employment opportunities in the area of BIM management continue to grow nationally and internationally. Graduates may seek employment with public and private sector organizations within the construction and facilities industries.
