Module Title: Set Construction 3
Language of Instruction:English
Credits: 5
NFQ Level:7
Module Delivered In 2 programme(s)
Teaching & Learning Strategies: Lectures Tutorials Private study
Module Aim: The aim of this module is to provide the student with the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills learned on the programme to research, develop, and construct a set to a predesigned brief (3 briefs), and in doing so extend the student’s experience in problem solving, communication, teamwork, project management and interaction with industry. The student will also be introduced to the uses of 3D printing in set construction.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to:
LO1 Have developed problem solving abilities by identifying the problem/s and proposing both standard and innovative built environment solutions for a realistic development / re-development project
LO2 Have developed critical thinking by evaluating the proposed solutions in terms of time, cost, quality, safety and compliance with legislation / regulations
LO3 Apply technical knowledge and skills from other programme modules to the proposed solution including the application of BIM where appropriate and the formulation of a business viability report
LO4 Have developed team skills by participating effectively at all levels within a team
LO5 Have developed project, time management, project reporting, report writing, presentation
LO6 Have developed a knowledge of the uses of 3D printing in set construction
