Building design is the process of creating plans, drawings, and models of a building, with the goal of creating safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing structures. It requires exposure in architecture, engineering, and construction. The certification courses offered under the Expert Certificate program in Building Design introduces students to the principles and practices of designing buildings, and trains them in using CAD tools to design, visualise, and analyse various types of structures using finite element analysis for safety and functionality. However, a highlight of the courses offered under the Expert Certification program is the focus on project planning, resource and cost management, risk management, and other project management concepts.
