A project based learning design module spanning TB1 and TB2. Learning is based upon real-world building design scenarios to develop Steel and Reinforced Concrete detailed design skills, whilst also aiming to provide students with understanding of the whole building design process and real-life design experience. Stages of group work project include: 1. Concept development 2. Preliminary design 3. Health and Safety CDM Risk Assessment and Ethics 4. Detailed design in steel and reinforced concrete and 5. Sustainability
The module aims to develop the ability to construct a viable strategic plan as part of a group with the individual assessment being delivered in the form of a document covering one of the key aspects within the structure of that strategic plan. The final ambition of the strategic plan, i.e. the synopsis will be defined by industry seniors. There is an expectation that key research skills will be developed alongside personal and professional development skills and the utilization of knowledge gained throughout the taught elements.
A practical group design project based on a real-life building design scenario, aimed to provide students with understanding of the whole building design process and real-life design experience utilising the theory taught in modules EG-222 Reinforced Concrete Design, EG-224 Steel Design and EG-234 Civil Engineering Management.
