Structural Design Concepts & BIM

Course Overview

This program is designed for civil engineering students, fresh graduates, and professionals who want to become experts in Structural Design and Building Information Modeling (BIM). You will learn STAAD.Pro, ETABS, Revit Structure, Navisworks, AutoCAD, Recap Pro, Dynamo & BIM 360, ensuring you are proficient in both structural analysis and BIM coordination workflows.

Students will gain hands-on experience by working on four international BIM projects at different Levels of Detail (LOD 200, 300, and 350), simulating real-world industry practices in structural engineering, clash detection, shop drawings, and construction documentation.

They will also explore structural design principles and conduct analyses using ETABS and STAAD.Pro. Working on a 10+ storey building, participants will develop expertise in load calculations, seismic and wind analysis, and reinforcement detailing. The course ensures a strong grasp of structural behavior, design codes, and practical applications, preparing them for real-world engineering challenges.
