About the Program
BIM (Building Information Modeling) should be understood as a process starting with the creation of a 3D model that is facilitated by the latest digital design technology and providing a holistic approach to construction that unifies design, building and documentation across a product’s lifespan. BIM has caused a considerable positive disruption to the construction industry help transform the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry through it’s communicative and collaborative approach. Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) is action taken on BIM. VDC is simply a visual management methodology using BIM as part of our proven construction analysis and work processes. When you major in Building Information Modeling at Purdue University, you’ll gain skills that will help a construction team create detailed designs of a 3D model generating a set of construction documentation to utilize in managing the buildings construction process from inception to facility management and beyond. You will learn about a wide range of topics necessary in the field, such as construction graphics, documentation, modeling, materials, methods of construction, casework, steelwork, carpentry, and MEPF trades. You will also learn about jobsite management and safety as well as the codes governing the construction & management structures.

Notes
- Students must earn a “C-” or better in all CGT courses.
- 120 semester credit hours & 2.0 Graduation GPA required for Bachelor of Science degree.
- Purdue policy states that a student may attempt a course no more than three (3) times. An attempt is defined as all courses displayed on a student’s transcript including, but not limited to A,B,C,D,E,F,W,WF,I and IF.32 Credit Hours of 30000 or 40000 level Purdue courses for graduation.
- Cornerstone Certificate is required with this major.
Critical Course
The ♦ course is considered critical.
In alignment with the Degree Map Guidance for Indiana’s Public Colleges and Universities, published by the Commission for Higher Education (pursuant to HEA 1348-2013), a Critical Course is identified as “one that a student must be able to pass to persist and succeed in a particular major. Students who want to be nurses, for example, should know that they are expected to be proficient in courses like biology in order to be successful. These would be identified by the institutions for each degree program”.
Disclaimer
The student is ultimately responsible for knowing and completing all degree requirements.
The myPurduePlan powered by DegreeWorks is the knowledge source for specific requirements and completion.
