Descriptions
The Construction Information Technology programme focuses on the information technology solutions specific to the built environment, such as building information modeling, digital twins, computational design, common data environments, and data gathering from existing buildings through scanning and sensor technologies.
In this programme the IT topics are integrated into the study of structural design and other aspects of construction. In addition to providing structural design skills, the programme prepares the students to tackle the future needs and challenges within the construction industry due to the digital and green transitions as well as changing building and land use regulations. This programme provides cutting edge know-how in order to prepare the student for future employment opportunities in the rapidly changing construction industry.
During the studies, the student completes internships that offer an opportunity to apply what s/he has learned in practical work situations. The student also has an opportunity to participate in an international student exchange programme at one of Metropolia's many partner universities. Internships can also be completed abroad.
Development
The contents of the programme has been developed in collaboration of the software industry specialised to construction domain, professional associations for real estate and construction, and innovative construction companies with software development interests. The continuing relevance of the content will be ensured through a steering group formed from these stakeholder groups.
