Module Aims
Technology is continuously changing, and it is important to remain at the forefront of these developments. However, it is also important that the Traditional methods are not lost, as manually measuring, and drawing helps to create a deeper understanding of, not only the Technology, but also the method behind it.
All aspects of this module will lead into other modules throughout the course and will give students the opportunity to learn different techniques and technologies that will be useful for future Coursework submissions.
Content Summary
During this module students will gain experience of using several different technologies to Survey, Draw, Measure and Analyse.
Technology will include, but not limited to, 3D Laser Scanner, Laser Measurer, Drone and VR (Virtual Reality) headsets.
Furthermore, students will use Software such as AutoCAD, one of the leading AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) software packages by Autodesk and ReCap, other software used for VR will also be demonstrated.
Students will also gain an understanding of how data captured can be achieved and how it can be used within Construction.
Through the use of lectures, tutorials and online materials students will gain knowledge of how technology will impact the Construction Industry and how its use will enhance their future roles.
