A Career-Deﬁning Certiﬁcate from Michigan State University and TechnoStruct

Are you ready to lead the transformation of the construction industry? The Building Information Modeling (BIM) Certiﬁcate Program—delivered jointly by Michigan State University’s School of Planning, Design and Construction and industry partner TechnoStruct—offers a comprehensive, project-based curriculum designed to help you master BIM skills that directly translate into career growth and organizational value.

Why This Program Is Unlike Any Other:

• Live Instruction by Industry and Academic Leaders
Participate in live, faculty-led sessions with MSU professors and senior BIM professionals from TechnoStruct. Learn from practitioners shaping the industry—not just teaching it.

• Job-Ready, Project-Based Curriculum
Gain hands-on experience through real-world assignments, simulations, and group collaboration that reflect current BIM workflows used in construction, engineering, and architecture firms.

• Prestigious University Credential
Receive a certificate from Michigan State University’s School of Planning, Design and Construction—signaling to employers and clients that you are trained, tested, and ready to deliver.

• “Job-Ready or Your Support Continues”
If you complete the program and don’t feel prepared for BIM-related roles, we’ll provide 1:1 coaching, project review, and recommendations until you are. Our goal is your success.
