About the Course

Overview

Are you looking to transition or advance your career in the Built Environment (BE) industry?

As the BE sector continues to embrace digitalization, there is a growing need for professionals who are skilled in Computation Building Information Modelling (BIM). Computation BIM involves the use of advanced software and programming languages to automate and optimise BIM workflows across a building lifecycle, enabling more efficient and accurate building design, construction and maintenance.

The SkillsFuture Career Transition Programmes (SCTP) in Computational Design (Built Environment) aims to equip individuals with the necessary skills to leverage Computational BIM to improve project process and outcome. It will enable individuals to stay ahead of the curve and acquire the knowledge and skills to succeed in this rapidly evolving field.

Objectives

Upon completion of the programme, you will be able to:

use basic coding to customize BIM programmes and improve productivity
use computational tools to automate, optimize and benchmark processes within a building lifecycle

This will adequately equip you to pursue a career as a Specialist in Digital Delivery.

Programme Structure

Module 1: Introduction to Computational BIM (Course code: 79033 – M1)

Duration: 1 month

Introduction to Computational BIM

This module introduces the evolution of computational approaches from pre‑BIM workflows. It covers the process on Computational Thinking and introduce Computational Design Tools.

Module 2: Basic Coding & Programming 1 (Course code: 79033 – M2)

Duration: 1.5 months

Coding Language

This module covers programming syntaxes and the use of a popular programming language, which the learners can use to write computational scripting tools.

Module 3: Basic Coding & Programming 2 (Course code: 79033 – M3)

Duration: 1.5 months

Integration of Programming Coding with Computational Tools

This module enables learners to apply programming skills to integrate with some computational tools to make the scripts more efficient and clearer to look at.

Module 4: Computational BIM Tool Application 1 (Course code: 79033 – M4)

Duration: 2.5 months

Computational BIM Tool Application 1

This module covers the use of visual programming tools and applications to create and generate geometry, interfacing, surface and volume.

Module 5: Computational BIM Tool Application 2 (Course code: 79033 – M5)

Duration: 2.5 months

Computational BIM Tool Application 2

This module covers the use of computational design tools in the BE sector and their various applications ranging from architectural, structural to M&E etc.

*Module 6: Workplace Learning (Course code: 79033 – M6)

Duration: 3 months

Industrial Attachment

Learners will be placed in a Built Environment firm to apply the theoretical knowledge in a real-world setting. Learners will gain industry experience and build professional networks that can help to launch careers.

*Only those who have successfully completed Modules 1 to 5 are eligible for Module 6
