BIM is a suite of tools that enables teams to create, analyse, and edit 3D digital project models. Like in many areas where virtual documents have replaced paper copies, it brings a wealth of productivity and versatility benefits. Its adoption has skyrocketed in recent years, but the industry may not be taking full advantage of it
MEP engineer is a single-level professional classification responsible for planning and design in the areas of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems including developing polices, standards, inspection procedures and evaluation of various projects. the mechanical aspect focuses on heating, cooling and ventilation (HVAC) and the electrical aspect focuses on providing power to all outlets and appliances. the plumbing aspect focuses on the delivery of water and the draining of waste water.
This course is an introduction to the current state of HVAC technology, theory, and safety. Study includes the principles of thermodynamics, energy, and matter and how those concepts apply to refrigeration. Students are also instructed in the use of applicable HVAC tools and equipment, as well as the fundamental mathematics needed to analyze and maintain HVAC systems. It introduces the theory and concepts of electricity and HVAC automated control systems, including the study of indoor air quality and causes of poor air quality. Using test equipment, students are instructed how to measure voltage, resistance, power, and amperage in electrical circuits. They are also instructed in the use, applications, troubleshooting, and repair of automated HVAC controls.
Electrical designing and drafting: Electrical Design has a huge demand in many segments like design, manufacture and installation of power and distribution systems, Sub-stations Design, commercial and Domestic interior lighting, selection of protective device, design of security system, design of fire alarm systems, design of low current systems and Sound Systems design.
Plumbing: This course introduces basic plumbing tools, materials, and fixtures. Topics include standard tools, materials, and fixtures used in basic plumbing systems and other related topics. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of a basic plumbing system.
Fire fighting: Students are introduced to the science of fires, how to prevent and subdue both residential fires and wild fires and how to respond to emergency situations. Potential fire fighters also learn how to protect themselves and their colleagues from the inherent dangers of this profession.
Revit was intended to allow architects and other building professionals to design and document a building by creating a parametric three-dimensional model that included both the geometry and non-geometric design and construction information, which is also known as Building Information Modeling or BIM (1975 Eastman C.). At the time, several other software packages such as ArchiCAD and Reflex allowed working with a three-dimensional virtual building model, and allowed individual components to be controlled by parameters (parametric components). Two key differences in Revit were that its parametric components were created using a graphical "family editor" rather than a programming language, and all relationships between components, views, and annotations were captured by the model so that a change to any element would automatically propagate to keep the model consistent.
