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 architectural engineering.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Work as part of a team to critically evaluate the requirements, risks, and implications of a clients brief for a architectural engineering project
2.
Apply architectural engineering technology and procedures to produce, and evaluate, conceptual designs for architectural engineering 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 and critically evaluate the skills and competences demonstrated in the completion of the project against the relevant competence criteria of appropriate professional institutions.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The philosophy of Architectural Engineering design and the wider issues relating to the economic, financial, political, social and environmental aspects of design. Interpreting and assimilating the project brief for a specific building and client; client familiarisation, scope and requirements of the project, energy requirements, benchmarking and building performance standards, identification of legislative, health & safety and other constraints relevant to the specified building.
Development and review of mechanical and electrical building services designs; identification of initial alternative options, selection of optimum solution via feasibility analysis and production of outline concept designs. Development of detailed annotated mechanical and electrical drawings and performance models, Comparison with appropriate legislative, benchmarking and building performance requirements. Use of industry standard software as analytical, design, calculation and management tools.
Techniques for effective project management; Promoting and developing effective teamwork and communication strategies, teamwork roles and responsibilities. Project planning, time management, work allocation, progress review, maintaining standards and quality control, record keeping and documentation.
Planning and preparation of formal presentation to an expert panel; use of presentation software, structuring a presentation, communicating at a level appropriate for the audience, techniques for answering questions, managing nerves. Personal professional development review.
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
building services 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.
