The Center for Integrated
Facility Engineering at Stanford University in Palo Alto,
Calif., has launched what it says is the first online certificate
program in virtual design and construction.
Beginning in January, the Stanford
Virtual Design and Construction program will teach theory,
methods and use of computer modeling to manage all aspects
of design through construction projects. Students will work
with Primavera P3 for project management; ArchiCAD from GraphiSoft;
Autodesks Architectural Desktop or Bentley's Microstation
for design; Timberlines Precision Estimating; an organizational
modeler called SimVision; and a 4D animation program, Project
4D from Common Point. Information is at http://scpd.stanford.edu/scpd/courses/
