Introduction
Building design is the process of creating plans, drawings, and models of a building, with the goal of creating safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing structures. It requires exposure in architecture, engineering, and construction. The certification courses offered under the Expert Certificate program in Building Design introduces students to the principles and practices of designing buildings, and trains them in using CAD tools to design, visualise, and analyse various types of structures using finite element analysis for safety and functionality. However, a highlight of the courses offered under the Expert Certification program is the focus on project planning, resource and cost management, risk management, and other project management concepts.
Scope of Course
The Expert Certificate program trains students in tapping the capabilities of popular CAD tools for designing, analysing, and optimising building structures for performance and safety, and Project Management software such as Primavera. The key areas of training offered in the Expert certificate programs are:
» Structural Analysis
» Structural Design
» Building Performance
» Visualization
» Construction Project Management
