Welcome! This blog is a repository of course syllabuses for the classes either I had given, revising the content or planning to deliver. You will find information relevant to four courses: Building Construction Science & Technology Project (and Construction) Management Construction Informatics & Building Information Management (BIM) Sustainability Principles & Technology for Built Environment The ultimate aim of this initiative is to define a trajectory for the undergraduate education of Architecture (and Architectural Engineering in particular) Profession within the context of "Program Qualifications" and "Learning Outcomes" under a framework erected on an objective equitable workload and an objective equitable evaluation criteria set for the student, compliant to the Bologna Process. Scope of this initiative is to establish a dynamic (ever developing) repository for all the parameters of this framework. Initial content will depend on par...
