Cristian Almendariz First Blog

My name is Cristian Almendariz and I a senior BS in Civil Engineering with an Construction Management Concentration.  I choose AE-510 because I think it would be an interesting class.  I would like to get the most out of this class because I think it is really interesting.  For the most part I am really interested in learning how to use Revit and similar programs.  I learned that Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a software that brings all the parts of specific construction design together and it allows designers to see if there are any conflicts between the elements of parts of the design.  For example if a duct of the HVAC is crossing through a column.

What your first post should contain

1. An Introduction about you.

1. What you want out of AE-510

1. Your first definition of "Intelligent Building"

Using This Blog

Throughout AE-510 you'll be required to write blog posts:

• Before class, based on assigned topics and/or readings
• Perhaps during class

I urge you to bookmark the blog.  You'll come back to it many times.

To write a post you'll need to:

• Have a gmail account - I've found that almost every student already has one
• Complete the initial survey.  By supplying your gmail address there I'll be able to add you as an editor to the blog.

How to create a post:

• I strongly suggest writing the post offline in a word-processing document that you save, perhaps creating a single document for all you posts in the course.
• If you're asked to comment on other posts do that as part of this post after reading them.
• You're welcome to add your comments to other's posts separately, but please include all your comments in your main post to make grading easier.

• Labeling Your Posts

• Decide on the "labels" (tags) for the post.  This will include at least your last name (already created as a label by the instructor)
• Please check to see if there are already a tags that cover your topic before creating new ones.
• Paste the body of your text into blogger
• Click on the appropriate tags, only creating new tags if really necessary
• Submit and review that it looks the way you wish.

Submit the URL of your post to BbLearn

• To get credit for the blog post you'll need to copy and paste the URL to BbLearn - that's where the grader will see it.
• If you've chose to post comments to other people's posts and have not included those comments with your own post then include the URLs to those posts as well.
