Aims

To enable the student to work both collaboratively and individually on realistic projects that facilitate the development and integration of a range technical and professional skills within the context of building services.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Work as part of a team to critically evaluate the requirements, risks, and implications of a clients brief for an architectural engineering project
2.
Apply architectural engineering technology and management procedures to produce, and evaluate, conceptual designs for building services projects and to progress these to detailed solutions.
3.
Produce documentation to demonstrate how the project was organised and managed professionally and effectively within the team.
4.
Present project solutions to an expert panel.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
The philosophy of engineering design and the wider issues relating to the economic, financial, political, social and environmental aspects of design. Interpreting and assimilating the project brief, client familiarisation, scope and requirements of the project, identification of legislative, health & safety and other constraints. Development and review of designs through to concept stage. Use of software as analytical, design and management tools. Selection and development of detailed solutions to set tasks, review, critical analysis and presentation of design solutions. Techniques for project management, planning, time management, work allocation, progress review, standards and quality control, record keeping and documentation.
Module Overview:
This module enables you to work both collaboratively and individually on realistic projects that facilitate the development and integration of a range technical and professional skills, within the context of building services.
Additional Information:
This module brings together the students' learning throughout their study and further develops the project work undertaken at levels 4 and 5. The module requires the students to demonstrate professional standards both in the production of solutions to architectural engineering projects and in the management of the process by which the solutions are developed in a team situation. Additionally, students will reflect on their professional development against the competence standards published by appropriate professional institutions.
