Description
In this subject students learn about emerging digital twin technologies that significantly impact the property industry in the near future. The subject covers digital technologies in the particular context of property management, and with a focus on the drivers of change in the industry and emerging digital twin technologies.
The subject also includes hands-on exercises for the deployment and use of digital twin technologies in the context of smart buildings and precincts. Individual formative feedback is provided during in-class group discussion to support group project development, and through staged review of individual submissions.
The teaching aims to assist development of the knowledge and skills required to complete practical assessment tasks and submission requirements. Much of the subject content is framed using an online podcast format that reviews technologies and reports on relevant industry issues and initiatives, supported with extensive online learning resources.

Contribution to the development of graduate attributes
The term CAPRI is used for the five Design, Architecture and Building faculty graduate attribute categories where:
C = communication and groupwork
A = attitudes and values
P = practical and professional
R = research and critique
I = innovation and creativity.
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs) are linked to these categories using codes (e.g. C-1, A-3, P-4, etc.).
