«BUILDIT University» project was created in order to attract the Currently «BUILDIT Ukraine» is actively collaborating with the top attention of the students to the development of modern construction universities of the country. The main goal of this activities is attraction of through the use of modern digital technologies, with the ultimate students, young scientists, and professors to various training sessions, goal to provide the growth of the Ukrainian segment of highly skilled lectures, contests and educational projects organized by our partners specialists in construction industry and reducing the gap between and related to the use of modern digital technologies in the field of theoretical knowledge and practical skills of the graduates and interns. construction.

The first steps towards the realization of this goal were made in With regard to participation, the BUILDIT University project is open 2014 on the basis of cooperation with the Beketov KNUUE. There to dialogue with companies and professionals in the construction was created the first BIM / VDC laboratory in Ukraine, where the industry. Indeed, the practice of dual education can help to shorten VDC-engineer certificate program was introduced to the educational the gap between the knowledge and skills of graduates of highe process of architectural and construction specialties. education institutions with the real needs of the business. O.M.Beketov National University of Urban Economy in Memorandums of cooperation between BUILDIT Ukraine Prydniprovska State Academy of Civil and Universities Engineering and Architecture

Poltava National Technical Yuri Kondratyuk University Roadshow As a part of the BUILDIT University project, representatives of NPO «BUILDIT Ukraine» held lectures for students of construction related departments and signed memorandums of cooperation with universities. The team visited O.M.Beketov National University of Urban Economy in Kharkiv, Lviv Polytechnic National University, Prydniprovska State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture, National Technical Yuri Kondratyuk University. The theme of the lecture was «Modern Digital Technologies in the Construction Industry. Autodesk Products That Help to Design, Build and Maintain». BUILDIT University Competition

A competition among students of construction specialties KNUUE and KNUCA was held in the BIM-laboratory of the KNUUE. In order to prepare for participation in the contest the students had to learn the basic functions of the Autodesk Navisworks. During the competition, they worked on the coordination process based on the real project.

The jury of the competition included the representatives of Webcor - one of the leading GCs on the West Coast of the . Webcor is also a partner in educational competitions for students from American universities and organizes large-scale competitions each year.

After the contest, representatives of Webcor conducted lectures with students of construction departments about «How industry changes nowadays». BUILDIT Lab online-school BUILDIT Lab online-school builditlab.org

BUILDIT Lab - is a first educational project of NPO BUILDIT Ukraine. It was started at September, 2014 as offline class in O.M. Beketov National University of Urban Economy in Kharkiv for spreading knowledge about modern digital technologies in AEC industry among young engineers, MEPF engineers and architects.

From 2016 it was launched like online-school and it gave possibility to share the course with the bigger audience.

BUILDIT Lab Online School - is a free opportunity to gain new knowledge in the area of modern digital technologies in AEC. Courses successfully combine theoretical material with practical tasks. After the course, students will gradually understand the processes of virtual construction, and acquire the skills that will allow them to use technology for other projects.

For students are available educational courses of Autodesk Revit Architecture/Structure, Autodesk Revit MEP and Autodesk Navisworks for complex analysis of the project. VDC Engineer 2.0 Basic VDC Engineer 2.0 MEP

VDC Roasting

VDC Roasting - Ukrainian student team contest for young architects, engineers and MEP specialists. The contest is aimed at spreading knowledge and practical skills in VDC (Virtual Design and Construction) for the young generation of Ukrainian specialists.

VDC Roasting is based on getting acquainted with technologies of virtual construction for solving common problems and tasks that arise during the implementation of construction projects.

The main idea: to spread knowledge about Virtual Design and Construction among the students of the AEC industry.

The main goal: to identify the University whose students team will be the best in the understanding of VDC processes and will show the coolest result in the work on the tasks. As part of the VDC Roasting, the finalists received gifts from partner companies. And Lenovo - as Innovation Partner of VDC Roasting - awarded the Winner University 5 «workplaces»: computers for training and modern training of highly qualified specialists in specialized construction specialties.

The task of the competition is the list of practical cases based on stages of the life cycle of construction projects. The use of VDC at each of these stages should help teams to resolve some issues as site logistics and creating a common construction schedule; 3D coordination; value-engineering to increase energy efficiency. Technology Transfer Center “MEGAPOLIS” Technology Transfer Center “MEGAPOLIS”

“Megapolis” is a modern working and presentation space for students, The main tasks of creating a technology transfer center were: support teachers and scientists of O.M. Beketov Kharkiv National University of for regional and state economic development priorities, cooperation Urban Economy. between science and business, unite the efforts of scientists, BUILDIT Ukraine team has become a developer and author of the commercialization of innovations, development of regional innovation project, which has a great functional potential. infrastructure, protection and management of intellectual property, The main objective of the Center’s activities is to create conditions for the increasing the scientific, creative and entrepreneurial potential of students unification of efforts of the scientific community, business representatives and teachers, popularization of R & D among students and young and authorities in solving the problems of positive changes in the socio- people on. economic level of the Kharkiv region.
