Aims
The module will work with students on the development of their professional portfolio, within the context of master's level design and evaluative skills development.
Students will develop systems approach to the solution of complex problems, and evaluate sustainability of designs. They will work from this to further development of their Civil Engineering 'attainments'.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Identify and classify the performance of systems, and apply a systems approach to solving complex problems.
2.
Monitor and adjust a personal programme of work.
3.
Analyse the need for a high level of professional and ethical conduct in civil engineering, with the application of professional codes of conduct.
4.
Critically evaluate the sustainability of a civil engineering project, and design effectively within the constraints of the 'triple bottom line' (social, environmental and economic).
5.
Generate an innovative design for construction, products, systems, components or processes to fulfil new needs.
Module Content
