School of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
The Bachelors of Science in Building Information Modeling (BIMM) provides students with the skills needed for employment in the construction industry. BIMM is the technology-driven process for estimating, creating, and managing information and visuals on a construction project. A building information model represents a 3-D version of every aspect of the project, from façade to foundation to structural steel .
To qualify for graduation, students must meet all graduation requirements.
