CPD Module in BIM Architecture 1 (Primary Building Elements)
MLMU9104
Programme description:
The CPD Certificate in BIM Architecture 1 (Primary building elements) module is a 5 ECTS credit part time re-skilling module. It is primarily aimed at architects and technologists, but is also open to other professionals with a background in building design.
The module is set at Level 8 in the National Framework of Qualifications and aims to provide learners with an introduction to Building Information Modelling (BIM), with a focus on primary building elements.
Industry-based building designs will be used as the basis for project work to give a realistic context and to render the student industry fit on graduation.
Over eight 3-hour contact sessions, combined with a period of self-directed learning, students will develop a command of the Autodesk Revit BIM application.
On successful completion of the CPD Certificate in BIM Architecture 1 (Primary Building Elements) module the student will be able to:
- Select an appropriate application template to begin a building project
- Describe the organisation of the GUI and identify the hierarchy to locate and execute commands and subcommands on the GUI
- Set up grids and levels for precise 3D element drawing
- Interpret sketch and CAD designs for creation of a BIM project
- Control graphic representation in Revit views
- Construct and edit primary building elements
- Use Parameters in Revit
- Organise digital building data onto plotting sheets
- Evaluate the quality, appropriateness, and significance of a specific BIM Technology for Architectural processes

Programme attendance:
The module requires 100 learning hours. Students attend two 3-hour computer lab-based workshops each week for four weeks, with a total of 24 contact hours spent in college, and the remaining 76 hours spent in self-directed learning completing project work.
The 3 hour tutorial block attendance in college will take place between 18.00-21.00 on two midweek days.
Progression:
The BIM Architecture 1 (Primary Building Elements) module is the first of three related BIM Architecture modules, and can combine towards a CPD Diploma (BIM Architecture) award.
Graduates can also progress to the 1 year part time DT9876 Postgraduate Certificate in BIM Technologies / Postgraduate Diploma in Collaborative BIM / MSc in Applied Building Information Modeling & Management (MSc aBIMM), subject to minimum postgraduate entry requirements.

Information Technology for Site Workers
ARCH6001
Introduction
Information exchange between clients, design teams, builders and finally facility managers is increasingly carried out digitally using Information Technology (IT). The growing use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and the focus on Lean Construction processes are driving this, while the growing availability of internet access and wireless technologies on Irish building sites is accelerating the trend at site level.
Key advantages of IT on site are that it facilitates a high level of communication exchange at all times, the easy recording of a wide range of information and greater accuracy in a number of processes. This is invaluable for efficiency, for controlling resource use, and for quality control and certification under the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations. However the adoption of IT on Irish building sites is as yet uneven.
It is only when foremen, supervisors and site managers have developed knowledge and skills in the use of IT through wireless devices that the many benefits of BIM, Lean Construction and quality control processes will be fully realised to the benefit of construction companies and their clients.
Programme description
The CPD Certificate in Information Technology for Site Workers is a one semester, part-time, upskilling programme for construction site workers. The programme is suitable for site workers who wish to carry out their existing work in a more efficient and inter-connected way; or to expand their role, to progress their career, re-skill or seek employment.
Content will be delivered via lectures, practical workshops and tutorials. The programme has been structured and resourced to provide a positive student experience, underpinned by best practice curriculum design and appropriate support services. A teacher-to-student ratio has been selected that will ensure good learning and student retention for students who may be quite unfamiliar with many IT concepts and tools.
The programme delivery will be taught one day a week for 13 weeks, mostly on half days (afternoons). This pattern should allow students to remain fully engaged on construction site. Attendance on the programme will be closely monitored.
On completion of this module, the learner will be able to:
- Work within a cloud-based Common Data Environment (CDE) for the purposes of construction site and office activity.
- Connect to a Common Data Environment to download and upload suitable data and information for the purposes of construction site and office activity.
- Access and navigate a three dimensional digital model using a Building Information Modelling (BIM) viewer and extract suitable data and information to inform construction management activities.
- Use the internet to access supplier specifications and manufacturer instructions, selecting and using appropriate mobile technologies and related apps.
- Use digital technologies to carry out on-site activities pertinent to the operating trade
- Use scanning applications (apps) to identify bar codes and QR codes for site data check lists and data recording
- Select and use appropriate mobile technologies and related apps for use in the construction field including, but not limited to, new survey and setting out technologies and construction activity recording

CPD requirements of CIRI
It provides suitable continuous professional development (CPD) under Pillar 3 (Technology & Innovation) for Supervisors and Craft Workers. The hours will exceed the annual requirement for CPD for Supervisors and Craft Workers.
Programme attendance
The module requires 100 learning hours over 13 weeks in one semester. The teaching will take place one day a week. The timetable is structured so that full days (09.00 - 17.00) are on the first, middle and last weeks of the programme, and half days (14.00 - 17.00) for the remaining. The student should do four hours of self-directed learning each week. This results in 48 hours of formal teaching and 52 hours of self-directed learning.
Programme fee
CPD module fees 2017/18: €1050 (amount includes registration fee)
