Building Information Modeling BIM II
A second-level course in Building Information Modeling (BIM). You’ll take parametric modeling of architectural interiors and exteriors to the intermediate level, along with building space management and design, using software such as Autodesk Revit. Data-driven parametric building models and documentation go well beyond pencil and CADD-generated drawings.

Student expectations
- Attendance is taken at every lecture and lab; show up on time, prepared, and let Professor Abdullateef know if you’ll be late or absent.
- Plan ahead so your materials are ready, and complete readings before class.
- Projects are due at the start of class; late projects are accepted up to the final portfolio submission, with a grade penalty.
- If you find yourself falling behind or having difficulty with a topic, be sure to seek help.
- Be honest and original: plagiarism and cheating aren’t tolerated, in line with the CRC Honor Code.
- Treat classmates, faculty and staff with respect; you’ll learn as much from each other as from lectures.
- Keep a sketchbook for drawing, design thinking and visual notes: it builds a habit of lifelong learning.
