Page 26.455.2 • Integrated Services Construction ManagementEach of the project-based courses was based on a model of six (6) quarter-hours of laboratorycredit total of sixteen (16) scheduled contact hours per week and an additional two (2) hours perweek to be arranged for by the instructor. Based on a ten (10) week quarter system, studentswould receive a total of one-hundred eighty (180) hours of instruction. Similar to coursesoffered through an architecture program, their concept was teach each course in a dedicatedspace equipped with models, samples, contracts, marketing documents, specifications, estimatingguides, computer references, and other tools appropriate to that construction industry sector. Inaddition, the laboratory would be

combination, two 75-minutelong sessions per week. The fundamental concepts and implementation issues were discussed inthe lecture portion, while the practical BIM skills were developed in the laboratory portion. Asthis was the only BIM course in the curriculum at the time of its offering, the course wasdesigned to cover a wide variety of BIM topics including clash detection and constructability,design and visualization, model based quantity takeoffs (QTO), estimating, and 4D scheduling.The software platforms covered in this course include Autodesk Revit® (Architecture andStructure) and Navisworks®. Other complementary software packages such as MS Excel,Sketch-up and MS project and P6 were also used. This paper focuses only on the Revit®architecture
