TRANSFORM AEC PROJECTS WITH GIS AND BIM (ENG)

Transform AEC Projects with GIS and BIM

by Cody Benkelman, Andrew Carey, Daniel Chantlos, Andrew Creek, Bryan Ferri, Jeremiah Johnson, Andy Lovell, Rafael Lucero and David Reeves

4 Weeks (2-3 hours of study per week)

Infuse geographic context into the entire project life cycle.
Discover what's possible when you integrate computer-aided design (CAD) data and building information models (BIM) with geographic information systems (GIS) technology. This course is for GIS and architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals and anyone else who wants to improve project decision-making, gain critical insights, and deliver more sustainable infrastructure, more efficiently. You'll explore powerful GIS visualization and spatial analysis capabilities and see firsthand how location-based insight enhances each phase of the project life cycle—from planning and design to construction and ongoing operations.

Goals

• Create highly realistic project visualizations using a building information model, 3D mesh, and scene layer.
• Inform and optimize project design by analyzing place-based factors.
• Monitor job site progress using drone-captured imagery and  dashboards.
• Fuel stakeholder collaboration and minimize delays by sharing project data and visualizations to an easily accessible cloud location.

Suggested Skills

Familiarity with GIS concepts and ArcGIS Pro will be helpful but is not required.

Software

Esri provides free access to ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online,  ArcGIS Spatial Analyst, ArcGIS 3D Analyst, and ArcGIS Drone2Map software for use in the course exercises. To complete course exercises, you must use a machine that meets the ArcGIS Pro system requirements. 

Note: Three course exercises use ArcGIS Pro 3.1. If your organization uses ArcGIS Pro 2.x, consider completing the hands-on exercises using a workplace machine that doesn't have ArcGIS Pro installed on it or a home PC that meets the ArcGIS Pro system requirements. 

A broadband Internet connection and a web browser that allows access to PDF files and embedded video files are required. For the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge and a desktop computer, laptop, or tablet.

How long will I have access to the content after the MOOC ends?
Access ends on the course closing date, which is shown inside the course in the Dates to Remember section of the course dashboard.

Will I get a certificate for the MOOC?
Students who complete the course in its entirety before the course closes, will receive a certificate of completion. Certificates are listed on your My Learning Activity page.
