3D Visualization has revolutionized the way buildings and spaces are designed,  constructed, operated and maintained. Evaluating how and where to employ it efficiently and successfully is an emerging in-demand skill set.  The 3D Visualization for the Built Environment microcredential will provide you with skills development in Building Information Modeling (BIM), 3D Rendering Tools, GIS, Digital Twins and Virtual Reality/3D Printing applications for design, presentation, construction and ongoing operations and maintenance of buildings and spaces.

Learners will need to know and be able to do the following after completing a program:
  • Examine what BIM (Building Information Modeling)
  • Create and render 2D/3D models which include massing detailed interiors, shadow analysis of structures, and exporting information for energy analysis 
  • Build a construction and existing facility twin through an examination of the core components of what a digital twin 
  • Operate simple and advanced features of GIS software
  • Use multiple 3D modeling software to create, modify, and Render 3D models for VR viewing and 3D printing

The skills developed in this microcredential will enable learners to work with 2D and 3D modeling software, create effective visualizations and to assess impacts of  different designs. Modelling can be used as a means of assessing the ability to achieve climate mitigation efforts through a thorough assessment of building design, materials and systems with the goal of constructing and operating in as sustainable a manner as possible.
