College Diploma - Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) - Steel Construction Modelling Technician

Program Description

Throughout this program, students advance their Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) skills for work in engineering firms, architecture firms, development companies, government, or private industry. Graduates will apply qualifications from two disciplines to become more competitive in the job market and adaptive in the workplace. Students receive a CAD and BIM Technician Diploma upon successful completion of the program. Specializing in Steel Construction Modelling enables students to do the following:

• Utilize data from current building codes and fabrication standards to develop practical connections between components that are code-compliant and practical to fabricate and install on site.
• Use structural engineering drawings and specifications to prepare three dimensional models of structures that utilise structural steel.
• Employ current Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) and three dimensional modelling systems as a tool to produce structural steel fabrication and arrangement drawings from data, designs and/or specifications.
