The Intelligent Building course was a great tool to learn
more about current ways, as well as a look into the future ways, that
technology is used within the design and construction of buildings. When I
signed up for the class I expected a heavy dose of building networks and sensor
information which I knew could help me in my career. We did get that for a few
weeks. The added lectures on robotics and BIM offered a great deal of
information through the guest speaker and Prof. Mitchell’s knowledge on the topics.
Exploring the database functions also offered a great deal as many students are
not familiar with Access and other database software, which can be put to great
use in areas other than buildings.
I would have to say my favorite part of the class was
hearing everyone’s thoughts on the various topics during class. I also enjoyed
getting experience with building Revit families as well as increasing my
knowledge on database creation, even though I could not figure out how to get
my reports and forms to work together like I wanted.
I agree with many other students in their posts that this
class just scratches the surface of each topic and whole classes can be used to
explore each topic further. I also think some people mentioned the workload
being heavy but I think the assignments were manageable and easy to complete
within an hour or two.
Having taken AE390 and AE391 under Prof. Mitchell and now
this course I see that he really appreciates every student and loves teaching
what he knows.
