The BIM COORDINATOR (Order information flow coordinator) is a professional profile that, in the context of the digitisation process management, operates at the level of the individual order. In the engineering and architectural sector, the BIM COORDINATOR ensures efficiency and appropriateness of the digitisation processes in relation to a specific order, taking different approaches for mono-disciplinary or multidisciplinary contexts.
The following topics identified by UNI 11337-7 are included in the course:
MODULE 1
- methods for conducting meetings
- data systems concerning the definition of the current state of the concerned assets
- engineering processes.
MODULE 2
- cyber security
- construction project management theory according to the standardised and consolidated theoretical corpus (UNI ISO, PMI, APM)
- contracts
- intellectual property of the entities contained in the information models
- advanced data exchange protocols.
MODULE 3
- hardware and software requirements
- logic and operational functions of the BIM Authoring applications
- legal principles concerning the protection of intellectual property
- national and European legislation on data management.
For the design, construction and management of public works the B.I.M. is now mandatory also in Italy, where the Ministerial Decree 560/17 imposed its use as early as 2019, and with full implementation by 2025.
The aim of the training course is to train a professional profile which need basic scientific and methodological training, require a high level of technical and specialised training, and moreover should have the skills identified by the standard UNI 11337-7 "Construction and civil engineering works - Digital management of information processes in buildings. Part 7: Requirements of knowledge, skills and competence of the figures involved in information management and modelling ". To this end, the course develops in-depth studies of the basic disciplines integrated by specialist courses, through training path that allows participants to acquire all the skills, abilities and qualifications for the profile of BIM Coordinator.
The course is organised in 3 modules:
MODULE 1
- Lesson 1: Methods for conducting meetings;
- Lessons 2 – 10: Data systems related the definition of the current state of the concerned assets;
- Lessons 11 – 15: Engineering processes.
MODULE 2
- Lessons 1 – 3: Basic cyber security issues;
- Lessons 4 – 8: Basic construction project management theory according to the standardised and consolidated theoretical corpus (UNI ISO, PMI, APM);
- Lessons 9 – 14: Contracts;
- Lessons 15 – 17: Basics of the legal principles concerning the protection of the intellectual property of the entities contained in the information models and in the individual entities;
- Lessons 18 – 24: Advanced data exchange protocols.
MODULE 3
- Lessons 1 – 7: national and EU legislation on data management;
- Lessons 8 – 16: Basics on hardware and software requirements: procurement and use;
- Lessons 17 – 25: Logic and operational functionalities of the BIM Authoring and elementary applications of Space Programming and nD Modeling.
Knowledge of the structure of the information data flow processes
Ability to assist in the planning of the work phases
Understanding of necessary staff skills in dealing with cross-data flow
Ability to prepare contract technical specifications
Ability to perform analysis of the information management plan
Be able to configure the digital work flows within the data sharing environment so that the information flows processed by software applications (drawing, structure , calculations etc.) do net get lost or modified
Ability to identify the human and instrumental resources needed to carry out the order.
The course is structured as follows:
- 64 video lectures, indexed by subject and with hypermedia bookmarks linked to the more-in-depth study materials;
- More-in-depth study materials are associated to the video lectures (texts, essays, articles, bibliographical references, lists of websites, case studies, etc.; )
- Exercises, practice work and virtual laboratories are associated to the courses and enable the students to put into practice the theoretical knowledge they learnt during self-study sessions as well as in collaborative learning sessions under the supervision of an expert teacher;
- Synchronic and asynchronic collaborative learning sessions using UNINETTUNO web fora for Interactive Class systems where lecturers, visiting professors, experts in the field present contributions, case studies, success stories related to the topics of the unit enabling students to interact in real time, to ask questions and get an immediate answer, and allowing the teachers to check the class learning process on the spot.
