CVEN30400

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.

Student Effort Hours:

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.
