D30IC

D30IC | Coursework Description

The followings are the questions making up D30IC coursework in this semester. They cover the areas of: Innovation, Building Information Modelling (BIM), Localisation and Identification, and 3D imaging.

These questions test the depth of student understanding of the concepts, processes and technologies, as well as the student ability to present them in a synthetic manner. An important learning outcome is t demonstrate the understanding of the linkages among those concepts, processes and technologies. Each of your submissions be made within two weeks following the completion of the lectures on that area.

Each question carries 25 marks to the final assessment. The coursework should be prepared using the provided Coursework Template and must be submitted to Turnitin by the indicated deadlines. Academic and professional (or industrial) references (and/or examples) shall be included to support your arguments. The coursework length should be in between 300 and 500 words. The length of your submission depends on the scope of the questions, so don’t feel you necessarily have to reach 500 words. It’s about quality, not quantity.

1 Provide and discuss an example of innovation that could support the delivery of sustainable development in construction. Justify in which of the above innovation types you would classify your example innovation.

Innovation Week 5

2 The publication of the BS EN ISO 19650 series has introduced a collaborative framework for managing information through BIM throughout the whole life cycle of a built asset. With reference to BS ISO 19650 standards, discuss how BIM can be used to support the sharing and integration of information and collaboration during the project life cycle.

BIM Week 10

3 A colleague would like to implement a system that warns the project management team if a worker is entering a zone where they should not be (for security or safety reason). Suggest two different solutions, that implement different sensing technologies, that could be considered, and discuss their respective benefits and limitations.
