Civil engineering design 2
T H F Wong
4 points * 52 hours design * Second semester * Caulfield
Objectives The student is expected to develop proficiency in conceptual design and analysis in civil engineering infrastructure including the application of Australian design standards. Students will become exposed to real design problems and are expected to acquire an appreciation of design constructability, ecological sustainability (where appropriate), risk assessment and optional utilisation of resources.
Synopsis This subject is structured to provide students with experience in engineering design in all disciplines of civil engineering. Students are required to work individually or as a member of a team (depending on the design unit offered). Two design units from a pool of seven units will be offered, each lasting six weeks. The seven design units will be based on the following themes: concrete structures, transport engineering, urban drainage, steel structures, geotechnical engineering, public health engineering, timber structures.
Assessment Based on submitted documentation of the design carried out. Students may be required to present their design in the form of a seminar or to undertake an oral examination to demonstrate their knowledge of and individual input to the designs. Students are required to pass both design units to pass the subject.
