ASPE Education Board Adds Two New Programs: “Building Information Modeling (BIM) with an Emphasis on Green Construction” The purpose of this class is to give the student an overall and elementary understanding of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) concepts. As an introductory course to BIM, we will study the history and implementation of BIM and how it is used within sustainable design.
