Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

Students will learn about advanced technology in the construction industry that initially requires them to understand the purposes of the technology in the industry: data acquisition, data analytics, data visualisation, communication, and construction automation. Understanding the application of technologies in construction is followed by knowledge of construction industry innovation, Construction 4.0, and building sustainability. Based on this knowledge, students will develop a project design using Building Information Modelling, Augmented Reality, and Life Cycle Assessment methods to apply the technology in the construction process and analyse the environmental impact

The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/assets/Uploads/Documents/IEA-Graduate-Attributes-and-Professional-Competencies-2021.1-Sept-2021.pdf
