Subject Title
Revit MEP 2025 - Fundamentals
Subject Description
The course introduces students to the software's interface and basic HVAC, Electrical and Piping/Plumbing components that make the Revit MEP software powerful and flexible engineering modeling tool. Students become familiar with the tools necessary to create and document a complete parametric model. The practices are designed to take the student through the basics of a real world project, from linking an architectural model to an MEP template, creating mechanical systems and complete construction documents. The course provides in depth knowledge and understanding of how Revit MEP is being used in mechanical and construction industry.
Credit Status
One Credit

Camera Use and Recordings - Synchronous (Live) Classes
Synchronous (live) classes may be delivered in person, in a Flexible Learning space, or online through a Seneca web conferencing platform such as MS Teams or Zoom. Flexible Learning spaces are equipped with cameras, microphones, monitors and speakers that capture and stream instructor and student interactions, providing an in-person experience for students choosing to study online.
Students joining a live class online may be required to have a working camera in order to participate, or for certain activities (e.g. group work, assessments), and high-speed broadband access (e.g. Cable, DSL) is highly recommended. In the event students encounter circumstances that impact their ability to join the platform with their camera on, they should reach out to the professor to discuss. Live classes may be recorded and made available to students to support access to course content and promote student learning and success.
By attending live classes, students are consenting to the collection and use of their personal information for the purposes of administering the class and associated coursework. To learn more about Seneca's privacy practices, visit Privacy Notice.

Modes of Evaluation
Assignments
Assignments are due at the beginning of the class on which they are due.
A late penalty of 10% per day is assessed for late assignments, including those not handed in at the beginning of class when due.
Material will not be accepted after one week following the due date and/or when the marked material is returned to students, whichever comes first. Assignments are to be prepared by computer.
Absenteeism and Exams
Students should be aware that absenteeism almost guarantees an inability to achieve satisfactory grades.
Students who are absent for an examination due to an emergency (e.g., motor vehicle accident, hospitalization or death in the family) may provide official documentation within five days of the missed exam and be provided a deferred exam at a later date. Official documentation includes a death notice or an original doctor's certificate identifying the date, length of time expected absence and the specific reason for the absence. Examinations missed without official documentation and approval result in a grade of zero.
There are no deferred options for missed tests. The value of missed tests, at the discretion of the Faculty, will be added to other evaluation components
English Proficiency
All written work should demonstrate the following characteristics for clarity and conciseness:
-writing is consistent with the rules of English grammar -spelling and punctuation are correct -sentences are structured correctly -main ideas are supported with specific, relevant examples and reasons -work flows logically through supporting statements/paragraphs -work is arranged in correct format (e.g., as a report, essay) -up to 10% of the final grade may be deducted on all work if the above English competencies are not met.
Format for Assignments
Students must use the standard, APA style for quoting sources. Help is available at: http://library.senecapolytechnic.ca
Grading is based on the following marking scheme:
Assignment 1 = 20%
Assignment 2 = 30%
Assignment 3 = 50%
