Aims
To develop the student's research and conceptual design skills and use these, together with other professional skills expected of a consulting engineer in the solution of an engineering problem presented by a client.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Interpret and assimilate a client’s brief and complete a needs analysis to evaluate the scope, requirements, risks, and implications for a building services or architectural engineering project.
2.
Apply the feasibility and conceptual design process to building services or architectural engineering projects.
3.
Conduct an appropriate research/independent learning programme relevant to unfamiliar problems within a specific building services or architectural engineering project, synthesise, analyse, critically evaluate and where appropriate apply the research findings.
4.
Apply the detailed design process to a complex building services or architectural engineering project.
5.
Work effectively as part of a collaborative professional team.
6.
Critically evaluate design proposals and the methods by which a project was managed and progressed.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The philosophy of engineering design supported by case studies and historical examples. The wider issues relating to sustainability and to the economic, financial,
political, social and environmental aspects of design.
Client requirement: Needs analysis: Interpretation and assimilation of the project brief, scope and requirements of the project.
Risk evaluation: evaluation of the financial, environmental, social, economic and
other relevant risks to the project
Feasibility: identification and analysis of possible solutions conceptual design for Building Services Engineering works.
Detailed proposal: Development of detailed design
Evaluation: Critical analysis of proposals
Planning and task management: planning, task management, work allocation
Individual research into an aspect related to the design
Application of industry standard software for analysis, simulation, coordination, planning, detailing and presentation
Module Overview:
The aim of this module is to develop your research and conceptual design skills and use these together with other professional skills expected of a consulting engineer to solve an engineering problem presented by a client.
