| Course description | Structural Engineering Design Project 4 gives students
experience of a major design project within a realistic
commercial environment. Students work as part of a team to
produce a feasible bridge design, subject to time and cost
constraints. The project draws together analysis, design,
planning and evaluation skills learnt throughout the students'
degree programme. Creative thinking, team working, detailed
analysis and iterative design skills are developed during the
project. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of the project the student should be able to:
- understand the different stages of a design project, the
importance of identifying the correct design concept, and the
literative nature of design;
- select appropriate design analysis tools for the conceptual
and detailed stages of design;
- develop and evaluate different design solutions based on
economic, health and safety, aesthetic, and construction
considerations (subject to relevant regulatory requirements);
- plan and carry out work within a team to meet a Client¿s
deadlines; and
- submit clear and accurate work through engineering reports
and drawings. |
Assessment Information
| No exam |
Special Arrangements
Coursework (100%)
There are five staged submissions during the project:
A Concept and preliminary designs (individual submission).
B Outline design report (group submission).
C Detailed design report (group submission).
D Construction drawings (group submission).
E Final submission (group submission).
An individual¿s contribution to their groups performance is
determine using peer assessment and the teaching staff¿s
