| Teaching & Learning Strategies: |
• Lecture delivery – typically 3 hours per week
• Continuous assessment projects
• Class discussion
• Tutorials
• The key teaching & learning strategy is integration/’feeding-in’, through content & timing, of Practice & Legislation instruction with TD&D3 projects, including CA assignments, to allow application of Practice & Legislation theory with formative feedback
|
| Module Aim: |
The aims of this module are:
• To familiarize learners with the detailed and practical implementation of the Building Regulations, particularly Parts B, K, L and M, so that they can incorporate these requirements into TD&D3 projects
• To develop learners’ practical knowledge of the Building Control process initiated by SI 9/BC(A)R 2014
• To familiarize learners with the principles of Health & Safety and their implementation in the construction industry
• To develop learners’ practical knowledge of the principles of Universal Design
• To introduce learners to construction contracts and their administration
• To introduce learners to Professionalism and Management, as defined by the RIAI Standard of Knowledge, Skill and Competence for Practice as an Architectural Technologist and CIAT Code of Conduct
• To develop learners’ practical knowledge of construction costing
|
