Week 4 BIM Discussion - BIM makes the Engineer's Jobs Harder vs. BIM makes the Engineer's Job Easier

BIM has made the engineer’s job harder because there are greater expectations of the engineers to multitask, collaborate, understand others disciplines, perform non engineering tasks, build increasingly complex buildings, using multiple sophisticated programs. Fear of missing a mistake made by the computer. BIM also makes an engineer’s job easier and allows them to get more done at a higher quality because of the complexity of BIM and its capabilities. It removes the tedious design  tasks from what the engineer normally does and indicates where they need to pay attention. The easy problems are solved automatically, but the complex problems are not. Designers are able to make better building designs and gain a realistic understand understanding of the building by making collaboration, communication, and visualization easier, but leads to more complicated problems.
