Expert Certificate in Building Design

Expert Certificate in Building Design

Introduction
Building design is the process of creating plans, drawings, and models of a building, with the goal of creating safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing structures. It requires exposure in architecture, engineering, and construction. The certification courses offered under the Expert Certificate program in Building Design introduces students to the principles and practices of designing buildings, and trains them in using CAD tools to design, visualise, and analyse various types of structures using finite element analysis for safety and functionality. However, a highlight of the courses offered under the Expert Certification program is the focus on project planning, resource and cost management, risk management, and other project management concepts.

Scope of Course
The Expert Certificate program trains students in tapping the capabilities of popular CAD tools for designing, analysing, and optimising building structures for performance and safety, and Project Management software such as Primavera. The key areas of training offered in the Expert certificate programs are:
Structural Analysis
Structural Design
Building Performance
Visualization
Construction Project Management
Project Planning and Scheduling
Cost Management

Career Prospects / Job Roles
As the demand for sustainable and energy-efficient buildings continues to grow, building engineers who are trained and certified in the areas of building design, visualisation, structural design, safety, among others will have even more opportunities. Also in demand are the Project Management skills involving planning, design, and construction of buildings, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure projects. Career prospects for building design engineers include roles in architecture and engineering firms, construction companies, and consulting firms.
