Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).

| Indicative Content |
|
Scheme design / detail design project
Civil engineering / structural engineering group project:
Groups will be formed to undertake the structural design of a building or civil engineering structure. All elements of design from conception to construction will be considered.
Particular attention will be given to the selection of appropriate structural forms to satisfy the constraints set by the design brief. Appropriate designer's risk assessment will be completed.
