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. |
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 |
