Objectives
On completion of this module students will have increased their knowledge and understanding of the engineering design process (though the scheme design and detailed design of a framed structure) including an appreciation of factors such as practicality, constructability, stability, robustness, durability, health and safety, and sustainability.Additionally, the students will have extended their ability to communicate by drawings and calculations.
This module also continues threads started in module CIVE1705:
- CAD: the objective of this thread (continued in module CIVE3707) is to give students an understanding of architectural building information modelling and a practical ability to use such application software.
- PD: the objective of this thread being to assist students to update their personal development plans and evolve these towards professional development.
Skills outcomes
- Planning and organisation
- Professionalism
- Time management
- Use of knowledge
Syllabus
Development of design specifications, materials selection and specification, scheme design, structural layout drawings, outline calculations, detailed design calculations + sketch details for structural elements (with reference to current standards), general arrangement drawings, construction methods, method statements, risk assessments, construction programme, initial cost estimates, constructability and designing for safety on site, sustainable development principles relating to detailed design, simple decision matrices.
CAD thread: Introduction to Building Information Modelling (probably using Revit Architecture).
IT thread: Mini IT assignments are embedded within the coursework of the main design thread of the IDP.

Private study
- Professional development plan (say 5 hours)- CAD assignment (say 10 hours)
The remaining time is split between the three design phases in semester 2:
- Developing the scheme design (drawings and outline calculations - say 20 hours)
- Developing the detailed design (drawings and detailed calculations - say 50 hours)
- Preparing the evaluation report (say 45 hours).
Opportunities for Formative Feedback
Progress in CAD and IT is monitored by student attendance at practicals, by coursework submission and via formative feedback marks.Progress with the design work in semester 2 is related to the three phases:
- Monitoring attendance and performance during the design review (week 4/5) - formative feedback given
- Monitoring submission of the detailed design (week 8) - formative feedback given
- Monitoring submission of the evaluation report (week 11).
