Smart Construction Flow Integration Practice
A hands-on graduate practicum in delivering the right engineering information, to the right stakeholder, at the right time.
Overview
Digital transformation in engineering organizations fails most often not from a lack of data, but from a lack of flow — information sits in the wrong format, reaches the wrong person, or arrives too late to matter. This course equips students to deliver engineering information to appropriate stakeholders in a suitable format and timely manner through three progressive themes: information architecture, digital twin planning, and low-code automation.
The three themes build on one another like a foundation, a structure, and a data pipeline: students first establish governance theory and standards, then design digital twin deployments on top of that foundation, and finally automate the flow between them.
What You’ll Learn
Course Format
Foundation — Information Architecture
Establish the theory, standards, and applied technologies behind engineering data governance.
Structure — Digital Twin Planning
Design digital twin deployments for real or simulated construction and facility scenarios.
Pipeline — Low-Code Automation
Build executable, low-code workflows that connect the architecture and the twin into a working system.
Capstone — Integrated Solution
Propose a complete smart construction flow integration solution combining all three themes for a project of your choosing.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Apply data governance theory and international standards to engineering information architecture
- Plan digital twin deployments appropriate to a given construction or facility context
- Design and build executable low-code automation workflows
- Propose an integrated smart construction solution that supports digital transformation in engineering organizations
