Aims |
|
To provide the students with the opportunity to: work in groups to conduct a complete holistic design of a real-life engineering project, interact with clients, architects and consultants from different design backgrounds, combine their theoretical knowledge of analysis and design within a large design project, and instil awareness of the various activities involved in the planning, design and construction of large-scale projects. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO2) Understand digitally enable workflows that support the project lifecycle |
|
(LO3) Understand built environment project lifecycle and UK workstages according to PAS1192-2 |
|
(LO4) Demonstrate proficiency in applying the creative design process to an engineering challenge in the built environment |
|
(LO5) Understand and correctly apply "rules of thumb" and validation to support engineering judgement and decision |
|
(LO6) Understand and correctly apply principles of "safe by design"; including health and safety and CDM |
|
(LO7) Experience using digital tools to support the engineering design and documentation process |
|
(LO8) Demonstrate proficiency and confidence in presenting engineering solutions to technical and non-technical stakeholders |
|
(LO9) Understand the implications of procurement, contracts and financial considerations in project creation and delivery |
|
(S1) On completion of the module, students should be able to show experience and enhancement of key skills in: Working as part of a team and providing leadership when necessary IT skills including the use of drawing, design and analysis packages Oral skills in presentations given to students and staff and in group meetings with staff Producing work under pressure and presenting ideas to clients |
|
(S2) On completion of the module, students should be able to show experience and enhancement of the following discipline-specific practical skills in: Planning and costing on an integrated design project. Sharing workload and responsibilities within their teams Presentation of their engineering solutions in a professional manner Management of their time in the production of a feasible design solution |
|
(S3) On successful completion of the module, students should be able to demonstrate ability in: Problem formulation as part of the design process Development of feasible design solutions that satisfy the design constraints and the efficiency requirements Selection of appropriate construction materials that are suitable for the structure under design Presenting their work in a professional, clear and concise manner Responding to questions on design with confidence Collecting and analysing information with earlier designs that are relevant to the structure being designed Application of computer-based analysis packages Production of professional reports and drawings on their design |
|
(S4) On successful completion of the module, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of: How to take part in group exercises in order to share responsibilities to achieve a realistic design scheme for the required structure while taking account of relevant constraints and environmental issues The difficulties that may arise when working in a group and ways of avoiding these difficulties The need for approximate hand calculations at the initial design stages and as a means of checking output of computer-based analysis packages The conceptual and planning issues affecting a schematic design The need to evaluate buildability and safety at an early stage of the design procedure The business, commercial and financial issues involved in construction project The environmental issues involved in construction projects |
