CVEN30400 Group Design Project 2

Academic Year 2021/2022

This module represents a continuation of CVEN30390 Group Design Project 1. Again the focus of the module is on integrating your learning from other modules and applying it to realistic problems. Students will continue to work groups, but will also undertake an individual assignment in support of this.

Learning Outcomes:

On completion of this module the students should be able to:
1. Understanding the bigger picture (and conflicting demands) that surround real engineering projects;
2. Integrate the design skills that they have learned in previous modules and apply in the correct context to a real problem;
3. Work effectively as part of a design team to develop creative, innovative solutions;
4. Work through your design solutions, making use of the academic & industry feedback provided;
5. Make use of a variety of communication tools, with a particular focus on Building Information Modelling.

Indicative Module Content:

Understanding / interpreting a complex design brief
Design development - how to work through and evaluate various design options
Contextualising knowledge - how to break down a complex problem into smaller, more recognisable components
Using feedback - how to work with your industry / academic advisors
How to integrate the design work conducted and present this in an effective manner
Teamwork / communication - processes to allow groups work effectively
Software support - Building Information Modeling, structural analysis etc.

Approaches to Teaching and Learning:
This module will be primarily studio based and will involve the students working with industry and academic advisors to develop solutions to a realistic design brief. Lectures will be provided to address specific anticipated issues, as will appropriate software tutorials. Regular presentations (to the class and advisors) will be held, and self/peer assessment will be incorporated.
