Diploma in Digital Engineering ( DDE )

With the present global drive towards attaining sustainable built environment, there is growing need to ensure buildings are developed in an efficient manner. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become one of the most exciting development in the building and construction industry. As an emerging design and documentation tool used to enhance communication and collaboration among all the project stakeholders, BIM is changing the way designers, consultants, contractors and building owners work together.

This programme is designed to equip students with the knowledge of using 3D technology in the building industry. It covers fundamental knowledge of the building lifecycle through the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM). BIM is a 3D digital visualisation tool to manage data for design and construction. Students will focus on BIM application for design analysis, productive design and construction coordination and facility management.Students will also build a good foundation in various IT software, web application, digital media and 3D presentation. Graduates of this programme will be in a unique position to leverage on use of advance 3D technology to support the building industry.

 

Programme Objectives

The Diploma in Construction Information Technology (DCIT) is a 3-year full-time programme that aims to equip students with the following capabilities and attributes:

• Develop building drawing and documentation conformation to industry standards and practices through the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM);
  - Analyse design of building by integrating various building services and applying productive design and construction coordination through BIM solution; and
  - Manage data integrity form design to construction and facility managements. Students will undertake a Final Year Project or undergo Industrial Attachment in the third year of study to put their skills into practice and gain experience before their graduation.

 

 

Career Prospects

Upon graduation, graduates of this diploma can look forward to rewarding career opportunities like Project Coordinator in Building  Information Modelling (BIM), Building Information Modeller, BIM Specialist.
