Formative

The Tutorials play an important role in formative assessments by providing students with the opportunity to engage actively with the material and collaborate with their tutors and peers. This interaction allows them to receive immediate feedback on their understanding of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and other components of the expanding digital toolkit. This interactive learning environment fosters critical thinking and teamwork, enhancing students' grasp of complex concepts.

Summative

Group Presentation (15% of Module mark)

The class will be divided into randomly allocated small Presentation Groups. Within these groups you are to select three spokespersons, prepare a PowerPoint presentation and be ready to present in front of the class and some UCL staff.

The subject of the presentation is “The Future of BIM in Civil Engineering Infrastructure Projects”

A further briefing will take place in class during the term.

Your presentation should last no more than 15 minutes.

All members of a Presentation Group will receive the same number of marks.

Written Assignment (85% of Module mark)

You are a consultant engineer with TB Solutions Ltd (TBS). TBS is a large firm of consultants (similar to ARUP – see www.arup.com) who are often asked to give an opinion on business solutions in general areas of the built environment.

You have been asked by an English Premier League football club, Diamond Castle FC (DCFC), to give an opinion on the advantages of using modern BIM techniquesthroughout the various development phases for their new stadium from inception through to post occupancy. In particular, your clients wish to know if it is normal, safe and secure to have no traditional plans as a back-up system.

The new stadium is located close to a business park, which has recently been developed on the outskirts of a small town just outside the London ring road, the M25. The only unusual aspect in relation to this development is a large decorative arch, which will rise high above the closing roof. The initial ideas for the stadium have been compared by many in concept to Wembley Stadium London – this may therefore be a useful comparable for professional purposes.

DCFC are keen to benefit from modern digital development systems and tools that they have been told will help create a more cost effective long-term environment for fans and staff. They also wish the new premises to be more environmentally friendly.

You have been asked to give an opinion in report form (but fully referenced) on the advantages and disadvantages of adopting BIM in the development. Whilst your report should deal with the design and construction phases, DCFC are particularly keen to establish the long-term value of the BIM model in the management of the stadium as an asset and in its operation as a facility.

You should make such other assumptions as are necessary to effectively address the brief. You are limited to 2000 words and the work should be fully referenced. See Moodle for deadline and submission details.
