BIM Course

The Building Information Modeling (BIM) Course was held in August 2008 in the Civil & Environmental Engineering department at Carnegie Mellon University. The course included several short classes on building information modeling, data capture technologies, and data management approaches.

Plans are underway to offer the course again in August 2009. For more information, please contact the BIM course organizer, Dr. Burcu Akinci at 412-268-2959.
