Course Overview

The need for smart analytics tools in the fields of architecture, construction, and the building industry is increasing as data sources that influence inhabitants' welfare, and the built environment's energy performance are blowing up in numbers. The Data Science for Construction, Architecture, and Engineering online course is developed to annex novel techniques and abilities to complement spreadsheets.

The Data Science for Construction, Architecture, and Engineering course centres on teaching data science skills to practitioners explicitly in the built environment industry. You will be introduced to data science while considering the background of various phases of the building life cycle. You will also gain exposure to several educational paths for a multitude of built environment-related functions.

During the time you spend learning the Data Science for Construction, Architecture, and Engineering digital course concepts, you will utilise substantial data sets from construction and design to study and apply data science methods. There are two modes to take this programme, certificate and free mode. In the free audit mode, the candidates will get access only for a limited duration.
