How will I learn on this module?
• On this module, the predominant form of activity will be
Project based
learning (PBL). Much of your work will require engagement in
disciplinary,
8. interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary group interactions through
your
involvement on a simulated project.
• You will learn through a combination of lectures,
technologically- enhanced
learning (TEL), and group seminars.
• Your learning will also be facilitated through a combination of
tutor guided
independent learning (TGIL) activities (e.g., directed reading),
and student
identified independent learning activities.
• Lectures and seminars will be used to support effective
transmission of
information and is delivered via a combination of face-to-face
‘live’ sessions
and the use of digitally pre-recorded sessions. All ‘live’
teaching lecture
sessions will be captured and made available to you from the
University’s
eLearning Portal (eLP). 11

9. How will I be supported academically on this
module?
• You will be supported through tutor feedback during small -
group seminars,
and in doing assessment tasks set up to enable you to learn from
feedback
which attracts no marks.
• There will be regular announcements issued on the eLearning
Portal (eLP)
that will direct you to suitable learning opportunities and
activities that will

3 Assessment Details
3.1 Module Learning Outcomes (MLOs) Assessed by
Coursework
What will I be expected to achieve?
1. Analyse the role of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in
construction planning and management.
2. Formulate BIM solutions to design challenges; and the BIM’s
responses to information management
needs throughout the project life cycle.
3. Justify and defend the information management strategy
developed, and the design or managerial
choices made within the production process of construction
project.
4. Apply disciplinary knowledge and multi-disciplinary skills to
overcome complex problems of practice
and identify appropriate solutions.
MCE | Learning and Teaching Page 2 of 4
3.2 Coursework Overview
36. The assessment requires you to develop BIM-based solutions for
a case study project, which has been
uniquely chosen for this academic year and will be presented
and illustrated to you in the first seminar
session of the module. You need to critically analyse the project
and evaluate potential digital solutions for
the challenges encountered with the planning and management
of the project throughout the project life
cycle. To this end, the planning and management requirements
need to be clearly identified for the case
study project; and the relevant BIM-based solutions need to be
proposed with sufficient details for
implementation to address such requirements. Additionally, you
will need to develop the information
management strategy for the case study project to facilitate BIM
implementation in the project.
3.3 Coursework Tasks to be Completed by Students
You are required to write an individual report including the
following:
1. For the case study project, analyse the project and describe
three significant challenges associated
with the project’s design management and planning, which the
application of BIM can address. The
challenges need to be relevant to the project’s design and
planning phases.
2. Propose BIM-based solutions for the identified three
significant challenges based on the industry
37. best practices and academic literature. The solutions need to be
tailored to the case study project
and their practicality — using BIM software packages — need
to be discussed. The used industry
practices and academic literature need to be cited in the report
(see section 3.5)
3. Evaluate your proposed solutions and discuss how they will
address the design management and
planning of the case study project.
4. Formulate the information management strategy of the case
study project by developing a detailed
responsibility matrix for the post-contract award in the delivery
phase of the project. The matrix must
be aligned with Section 5.4 of ISO 19650-2 and address the
following requirements:
• Identification of what information is to be produced (i.e.,
information needs)
• Identification of when the information is to be exchanged and
with whom (i.e., schedule)
• Identification of which task team is responsible for its
production (i.e., roles & responsibilities)
3.4 Expected Size of Submission
38. ▪ The maximum word count for your submission is 4,000 words
or equivalent (excluding the cover
page and list of references).
▪ Figures (diagrams, illustrations, photographs etc.) and tables
are welcome but must be fully
incorporated into the submission, integrated with the text, and
thoroughly explained why they are
exhibited. (200 words are counted for each figure/table used).
▪ The work must form a structured and coherent whole. On the
cover page, identify the total number
of words used (excluding the cover page and references section)
and the number of figures/tables
used.
▪ The Northumbria University policy on word limits is available
here. You will see the policy explains
the point at which examiners will stop reading your work if you
exceed the maximum word limit.
▪ Students’ reports must be submitted as a single digital file in
either pdf or Microsoft Word format
using the TurnitinUK portal on the Blackboard course. The
University has published guides to help
you submit your work using Turnitin Assignment submission
portals, which you can find under
Assessment Submission, Grades & Feedback and from here.
3.5 Referencing Style
You need to prepare the references of your report based on the
Harvard referencing style using the Cite
Them Right webpage. An online guide to Cite Them Right is
39. available to Northumbria University students
here.

4 Referral
If the Progression and Awards Board (PAB) decides to give you
a referral attempt of the module, the
module leader may ask you to retake the examination at another
time. The referral attempt opportunity
will typically occur after the end-of-level Progression and
Awards Board (PAB). If you pass the module
following a referral attempt, you will be awarded the module
pass mark for level 7 modules, i.e., 50%. If
you become eligible to complete a referral attempt but are
subsequently unable to undertake the
opportunity when required, you will be permitted to re-sit the
module at the next scheduled sitting; this will
generally entail the suspension of your progression on your
programme of study until such time that you
have completed the level and become eligible to proceed. The
date and time of the examination for your
referral attempt will usually be confirmed to you by Academic
Registry via the University’s website and not
by the module leader.
