Building Information Modeling (BIM) is used for creating digital models of different structures. These models are often in 3D and contain data that describe the structures’ attributes in greater detail from the inside out, allowing those involved with the BIM project (including project managers and designers) to use this data to make changes to the design prior to construction. There are many steps involved in the BIM process, each of which plays a role in the journey toward bringing architectural and engineering concepts to life and transforming them as the process goes on.
Although there are ..read more

Building design for healthcare facilities is inherently complex. The buildings are used for many different purposes relating to healthcare and must accommodate all kinds of people as well as changes in technology. With the rise of 3D modeling and Building Information Modeling (BIM), such complex projects can be managed more effectively and efficiently.
BIM can also play a role in renovations or building additions after a building, such as a hospital, is built. For example, the East Sussex Healthcare Trust has applied BIM functionality to support the addition of an MRI scanning facility to the ..read more

As our world is changed by technology,
how do we ensure our ethics keep up with the pace of technological change? For
engineering design technology professionals, a code of ethics must be upheld
within working relationships, among teams, and with stakeholders. These
standards make sure building, infrastructure, and design technology projects
are completed with honesty and integrity.
When you make an investment in your
future career through training, reflecting on ethics will be part of your
journey. How do your personal ethics connect to your career? Why are ethical
standards important to ..read more

In the early phases of a new building,
renovation, or infrastructure project, creating designs that reflect client goals
is a primary concern. What makes the achievement of a comprehensive design that
satisfies clients possible? One of the most important aspects of this phase and
every phase of an architectural or engineering project is communication.
However, the management of
communication is often a low priority for architects or engineers who want to
focus on design details and technical elements of a project. This is one way in
which the use of building information modeling (BIM) and ..read more

In 1998, Roda Belisario Pasion graduated with a Bachelor of
Science in Industrial Technology with a major in Drafting. Since then she has
taken an inspiring journey filled with accomplishments. She has worked in her
field as a Drafstman for fiber optics projects, started a family, and even went
to culinary school in Italy before moving to Canada.
Recently, Roda decided to join the Digital School community
and enroll in the Architecture Design Technology program. “This program
enhances my passion,” she says, adding that it lets her “aim for success not
only for myself [but]

Process piping systems are essential
to many facets of modern life, from manufacturing products to ensuring vehicles
have the fuel to keep moving. When these
systems are built a team of engineers, process piping drafters, contractors and
others work together to ensure the system is safe and efficient. Some systems
even play a role in improving sustainability in innovative ways.
Seabreeze Farms is a case in point. In
2012 and 2015, Dual Mechanical Limited, a British Columbia mechanical
construction company, received Gold awards from the Vancouver Regional
Construction Association for their ..read more

In 1957 the filmmaker Morton Heilig
invented the Sensorama. This machine was a booth with an awning and side panels
that could hold one to four people. Heilig wanted to create an immersive 3D
environment for viewers, which also included other sensory elements. In the
Sensorama you could experience stereo sound, vibrations, smell and even wind. While
a far cry from today’s advanced technology, the Sensorama was arguably the
beginning of virtual reality (VR).
After decades of inventions and
science fiction visions, architects, engineers, and construction industry professionals
are now using V ..read more
