Module Aims
To cultivate the student's ability of critically examining the impact of construction projects on the environment and provide an opportunity for students to gain advanced understanding of the current sustainability issues in the construction profession.
To develop and implement environmentally sustainable design solutions for the construction industry.
To develop skills in design, where appropriate making use of relevant design software packages used in industry.
To be able to produce an effective presentation and communication of design work and work effectively in an inter-dependent team.
Content Summary
A single design project will be used to integrate a number of engineering disciplines. Each project will contain a variety of engineering challenges such as, conceptual design, detailed design, risk assessment, environmental impact assessment and sustainability, health and safety.
Groups of students (ideally 4-5 students per group) will immerse themselves in a design project, working as a team to deliver the finished design.
The actual project will vary from year to year but will be based on a live project currently being undertaken by industrial partners, ideally in the local area.
This module will facilitate the development of Personal Development Planning through the delivery of the key skills identified below in the module descriptor.
