Aims
To introduce the fundamental skills needed for the design process;
To equip the student with the fundamental tools, including the necessary IT skills necessary to carry out an architectural engineering design project;
To develop and refine the student's written, verbal, graphical and presentation skills.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Investigate a range of architectural engineering design solutions for a simple commercial or domestic building.
2.
Use appropriate CAD and IT packages to produce architectural engineering design
documentation.
3.
Communicate design solutions graphically, verbally and in writing.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Students will be given the construction details of a non-complex commercial or domestic building and will be required to investigate sustainable and practical architectural engineering design solutions. Students will produce feasibility studies, design drawings, schedules, reports and associated documentation related to their design. The architectural engineering aspects should complement the building services systems, building function, building form and aesthetics to provide sustainable, energy efficient and workable solutions.
Module Overview:
The aim of this module is to introduce the fundamental skills needed for the design process. The module will equip you with the fundamental tools, including the necessary IT skills necessary to carry out an architectural engineering design project. Also, you will be able to develop and refine your written, verbal, graphical and presentation skills.

Additional Information:The module in delivered through a multi-task project which requires students to produce designs based on the engineering and aesthetic requirements of a non-complex building. Interdisciplinary working is actively encouraged and facilitated and it is envisaged that students will be working alongside Building Services Engineering students on a complementary design project module.
