CS4005 - Civil Engineering Design

Credit points:	03
Year:	2018
Student Contribution Band:	Band 2
Administered by:	College of Science and Engineering

Design - generally three projects covering structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, and environmental/hydraulics engineering. Where possible, these will be treated in an integrated way. In this subject, the designs will be more open-ended and oriented towards overall projects compared with earlier design subjects.

Learning Outcomes

• source, assess, and use design aids, codes and other data to assist in evaluation and decision making;
• apply basic science and engineering fundamentals to the planning and design of engineering projects;
• formulate, analyse, evaluate and make decisions on different design aspects of multipurpose projects;
• function effectively as an individual, and as a manager or member of project design team;
• design multipurpose civil engineering projects in the areas of hydraulic, structural, transportation, environmental and geotechnical engineering in consultation with other members in a team;
• communicate design recommendations with engineers, managers, and project stakeholders.
