AASHTO Publications 3D Engineered Models for Construction Series: Introduction to 3D Engineered Models for Highway Transportation (2 PDHs) TC3CN035-16-T1

This course offers professional development hours (PDHs). You will see the PDHs on your course completion certificate, which also serves as documentation of your attendance. PDH requirements vary, therefore, it is up to you to determine whether or not this particular course qualifies under your State or board requirements. Course overview:The 3D Engineered Models for Construction Series focuses on critical technical topics that will support new users’ implementation of 3D modeling. This series consists of the following courses: • 3D Engineered Models for Construction Series: Introduction to 3D Engineered Models for Highway Transportation - Module 1 • 3D Engineered Models for Construction Series: Surveying and 3D Engineered Models - Module 2 • 3D Engineered Models for Construction Series: 3D Engineered Models in Highway Design - Module 3 • 3D Engineered Models for Construction Series: Applications of 3D Engineered Models in Highway Construction and Quality Assurance - Module 4 The first in this four-module series defines and introduces 3D engineered modeling and explains how advanced 3D engineered modeling offers improvements over traditional 2D methods to deliver projects within schedule and budget with better quality from concept to completion. This first module is divided into three lessons. They are: • Lesson 1: What are 3D Engineered Models?; • Lesson 2: Applications in Highway Transportation; and • Lesson 3: Implementation Lessons Learned. While all four modules in this course explore a new topic within 3D modeling, they are also designed with enough recurring content to serve as individual learning experiences. Training level: This training is recommended for the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council levels III and IV. Target audience: This training is available to anyone interested in learning more about the use of 3D engineered models in construction. This training is recommended for mid-level managers with owner agencies in the following roles: district county, city, or State construction engineer, project design engineer/manager, on-site resident/project engineer, construction manager, and construction inspector.? Learning outcomes: Upon completion of this module, participants will be able to: • Explain the benefits of 3D modeling; • List examples of 3D modeling currently in use; • Explain how the application of 3D modeling differs in various project delivery methods; • Describe quality control techniques at all stages of project delivery; • Describe how workflow with 3D models differs from 2D design; and • Describe the current practices in Civil Integrated Management (CIM).
