Aim: The course aims at giving students a critical understanding of construction IT as a branch of technology, rather than "hands-on" experience. This is typically relevant to two groups of students:
(1) Students aiming at a leading or specialist position in a construction company, with responsibility for development and (innovative) use of construction IT. Upon completing the course, they should have acquired a substantial part of the technological insight needed for such a position. However, other relevant issues such as financial and management aspects of this kind of work are not covered. To acquire the full competence for the kind of position outlined, employment experience will also be needed.
(2) Students who consider doing a MSc (or PhD) thesis on construction IT. For those students the course should provide a background understanding that enables them to make an informed choice of subject for further study. |
Contents: The subject matter has been organised under these headings:
1. Construction as communication.
2. Non-digital project material.
2.1. Ends (actual and desirable use of project material).
2.2. Means (structure, standards & techniques).
3. Digital project material.
3.1. Ends (actual and desirable use of project material).
3.2. Means (structure, standards & techniques).
3.3. Legal aspects.
4. Conclusions. (An effort to achieve a systematic understanding of the subject as a whole)
A main idea is that some important issues (e.g. classification) that can be understood independently of IT will be considered in the context of conventional non-digital project material before they are treated in connection with digital project material. This will enable us to explore analogies between digital and non-digital material, thereby facilitating the understanding of the latter. |
