Infuse geographic context into the entire project life cycle.

Discover what's possible when you integrate computer-aided design (CAD) data and building information models (BIM) with geographic information systems (GIS) technology. This course is for GIS and architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals and anyone else who wants to improve project decision-making, gain critical insights, and deliver more sustainable infrastructure, more efficiently. You'll explore powerful GIS visualization and spatial analysis capabilities and see firsthand how location-based insight enhances each phase of the project life cycle—from planning and design to construction and ongoing operations.

Goals

Create highly realistic project visualizations using a building information model, 3D mesh, and scene layer.
Inform and optimize project design by analyzing place-based factors.
Monitor job site progress using drone-captured imagery and dashboards.
Fuel stakeholder collaboration and minimize delays by sharing project data and visualizations to an easily accessible cloud location.

Suggested Skills

Familiarity with GIS concepts and ArcGIS Pro will be helpful but is not required.

Software

Esri provides free access to ArcGIS Pro 3.0, ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Spatial Analyst, ArcGIS 3D Analyst, and ArcGIS Drone2Map software for use in the course exercises. To complete course exercises, you must use a machine that meets the ArcGIS Pro system requirements.

-Note: Three course exercises use ArcGIS Pro 3.0. If your organization uses ArcGIS Pro 2.x, consider completing the hands-on exercises using a workplace machine that doesn't have ArcGIS Pro installed on it or a home PC that meets the ArcGIS Pro system requirements.

A broadband Internet connection and a web browser that allows access to PDF files and embedded video files are required. For the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge and a desktop computer, laptop, or tablet.

Amazing!
This course was very great and interesting, it creates a medium where the different discipline in the built environment can work together to create a better environment.

This is a great course with well structured sections. The ability to use BIM data on ArcGIS and share this online for other stakeholders to view and perform anlysis online is massive.
The ability to process drone images to create 2D & 3D models including digitial elevation models and perform analysis like measuration is great.

This is a course you would really love!

This is an excellent course and it is full of amazing ideas and supplementary resources. Check out ESRI MOOCs, you won't be disappointed. :)

Excelente para tener un primer acercamiento a las distintas herramientas que ofrece Esri para el mundo AEC y la integración de GIS y BIM. También sirve para aquellos que no han trabajado con ArcGIS Pro o ArcGIS Online anteriormente.

How do I get my certificate? Was an excellent course I enjoyed very much and learned allot I would not hesitate to participate in another similar course.

I had an incredibly pleasant and engaging experience with ESRI ArcGIS, which provided me with ample opportunities to learn. Over the course of the 4-week program, I gained a comprehensive understanding of integrating GIS into AEC Projects. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the ESRI Team for offering such a remarkable experience.

Amazing content assembles in a mix of interactive, DIY, and guided tutorials. It gives you a clear overview of different tools like ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS online, and Drone 2 Map.

Thank you very much. This course resonates with our effort to give spatial planning a third dimension. So far, we have the first attempt at a 3D model of the Rybářská regulatory plan (https://arcg.is/0iaja80) here in Český Krumlov. The buildings were processed in 3D, but as surfaces, not masses, however, for a visual overview, this is also a good tool for approximating the future state of the street after its completion.

Learnt a lot from this course, It was well detailed and had easy step by step instructions.
Even someone without BIM or advanced GIS knowledge can be able to follow along.
