Graduates of this program will develop the Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) skills gained in two specialty areas. During their first year, they will develop skills in Architectural, Civil/Structural, Mechanical or Steel Construction Modelling with Steel Detailing. Students will further develop their skills by adding an additional specialty of Architectural, Mechanical or Civil/Structural in Year 2.

Students learn to analyze and apply the current practices of a 3D Integrated Design Process (IDP) and contribute to the design/build team utilizing Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) methods. Upon application, students must indicate which first-year specialization they wish to pursue. Students will work with the CAD & BIM Department to confirm the second-year specialization closer to the end of the first year

Specializing in Mechanical Engineering enables students to do the following:

  • Apply concepts of building construction and technology to plan and detail mechanical systems for commercial and industrial facilities in accordance with local by-laws and the BC Building Code.
  • Utilize concepts of mechanical and process technology and planning to produce drawings and 3D models of industrial facilities.
  • Employ mechanical engineering theories and BIM practices to prepare engineering drawings from 3D model that incorporate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems in building structures.
