Aims
The aim of this module is to introduce students to their professional subject area whilst providing them with an early opportunity to engage in a collaborative environment with Level 4 students from Built Environment disciplines. It highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the construction and property markets and the roles each make at various stages of the project.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Work and communicate professionally in a collaborative team environment.
2.
Understand the roles of each professional discipline and the decisions made at the various stages of a project by applying built environment principles and techniques to a domestic building and infrastructure project.
3.
To identify and reflect upon the following aspects of self-awareness in respect of personal development and career planning: strengths and weaknesses, motivations and values, ability to work with others.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:This module will facilitate the learning process by enabling students to put the theory gained in the first semester modules into practice and work collaboratively to make decisions on a suitable work derived project simulated to provide the vehicle for this purpose. Within the module itself the following areas will be considered and applied to the project: plans of work, principles of negotiation and decision making, roles and responsibilities, development, sustainable design, cost, programme and legal considerations.
The project task will comprise a presentation on their roles and the decisions they make at each stage of a project demonstrating the need to negotiate within the team in order to achieve the objectives of the project. Initial lectures will be provided to prepare them for the task followed by workshops sessions to support the students in their task. Students will also be offered formative feedback on their work during these sessions.
Module Overview:
The central theme of this module is the production of a work derived project and it is supported by the other modules within the first year programme. You will be introduced to your professional subject area and be provided with an early opportunity to engage in a collaborative environment with Level 4 students from Built Environment disciplines. It highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the construction and property markets and the roles each make at various stages of the project.

Collaborative work is a key theme of the module; the intention being to simulate the
experience of the work place and work place activity, endorsed and approved by the
involvement of employers and stakeholders as relevant to the workplace generally.
This module has been developed to encapsulate the spirit of PDP.
