Analyse the role of Building Information Modelling within the production management process.

ASSESSMENT DETAILS -

Module Learning Outcomes (MLOs) Assessed by Coursework -

1. Analyse the role of Building Information Modelling within the production management process.

2. Formulate solutions to design and production problems through a simulated project life cycle.

3. Justify and defend design or managerial choices made within t he production process of a simulated project.

4. Apply disciplinary knowledge and multi-disciplinary skill to overcome complex problems of practice and identify appropriate solutions.

5. Reflect upon learning achieved within integrated collaborative environments.

Tasks -TASK 1: Reflective Portfolio for your Integrated BIM Project. And Task 2: Academic Poster (Illustrating critical project decision).

TASK 1: The portfolio is to contain reflective evidence of:

1. The iterative cycle of the production of a BIM-enabled project design.

2. Collaborating with other professional disciplines at various stages of your projects development.

3. Your methods of problem identification, communication, and problem solving.

4. How options-analysis took place within the development of your BIM-enabled project design.

5. Your learning on integrated working in a BIM-enabled project.

TASK 1 Expected Size of Submission -

1. 3,000 equivalent words (excluding the references section).

2. Figures (diagrams, illustrations, photographs etc.) and table s are welcome but must be fully incorporated into the submission, integrated with the text and fully explained as to why they are exhibited. (250 words are counted for each figure/table used).

3. The work must form a structured and coherent whole. On the fr ont sheet of the submission, identify the total number of words used (excluding references s ection) and the number of figures/tables used.

4. Penalties for exceeding this limit: If the work exceeds the allowable word limit by 10% (i.e. 300 words) then a 10% marks penalty will apply. This 10% penalty will continually be applied for any additional text that exceed blocks of 300 words thereafter.
