On completion of this module the students should be able to:
1. Understanding the bigger picture (and conflicting demands) that surround real engineering projects;
2. Integrate the design skills that they have learned in previous modules and apply in the correct context to a real problem;
3. Work effectively as part of a design team to develop creative, innovative solutions;
4. Work through your design solutions, making use of the academic & industry feedback provided;
5. Make use of a variety of communication tools, with a particular focus on Building Information Modelling.
Understanding / interpreting a complex design brief
Design development - how to work through and evaluate various design options
Contextualising knowledge - how to break down a complex problem into smaller, more recognisable components
Using feedback - how to work with your industry / academic advisors
How to integrate the design work conducted and present this in an effective manner
Teamwork / communication - processes to allow groups work effectively
