Teaching
Prof. Haijiang Li has been playing the leading role for promoting BIM research, teaching & training in Cardiff since 2006.
BIM has been enabling a revolutionary way of working for the worldwide construction industry since it was first coined in 2003 in USA. It now triggers a worldwide tipping point to completely transform the oldest while still with the lowest productivity construction industry. At present, there are urgent demands for BIM graduates at all levels from UK & worldwide AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) industry.
In 2018, Prof. Li developed a new MSc programme - BIM for Smart Engineering to welcome MSc students all over the world who are interested in BIM in Engineering. The programme has put Cardiff into the front tier for BIM training and education in UK and worldwide.
Module Leader for three BIM core modules:
BIM Computing and Information Processing (ENT516)
Building and Infrastructure Information Modelling (ENT768)
Building and Infrastructure Information Modelling (EN4308)
Other modules involved:
Integrated Building/Infrastructure Design (ENT510 & EN4102)
Engineering Case Study (ENT725)
Dissertation (Civil, Structural, Geo-environmental, Water) (ENT509)
I am leading the research group -- Computational Mechanics & Engineering AI (CMA) The CMA group has established their international stands on developing next generation smart computational engineering solutions to enable the digital transformation for construction sector. Our Physics and mechanics informed Engineering AI, which is data driven, enabling smart materials, structure and digital twins developments, aligns well with major funding priorities. The research substantialises domain oriented AI algorithms, to make a break through towards generic, responsible and explainable AI, to enable human centred digitalization for built environment. |
