Digitalisation is the single most significant change factor of our age. The built environment sector is the largest sector in most countries and is a key factor in the process of creating sustainable value, both for the client and for society. This programme gives you the knowledge needed to use and manage efficient product realisation processes supported by digital technologies in the built environment sector to create sustainability. This includes modelling, simulation, analysis, optimisation, visualisation, sharing, communicating, organising and managing processes for digitally driven value creation.
The sector is responsible for the realisation of the complex and very individualised products that make up the built environment, i.e. buildings, lighting systems, roads and water and sewer networks. Digitalisation in the built environment has entailed major developments and new applications.
There is a need for engineers who have specialist knowledge concerning Building Information Management (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and the implementation of these technologies in the product realisation process. Graduates from the programme will support businesses and organisations in the built environment sector to integrate the steps in the product and production chain as well as contribute with the expertise needed for companies to remain competitive on both local and global basis.
The knowledge you gain will help you find work as a BIM engineer, BIM coordinator or BIM manager. Many of these roles did not exist until recently but are now considered key positions in many companies.
