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 CIT module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s). |
| No recommendations listed |
Incompatible Modules
These are modules which have learning outcomes that are too similar to the learning outcomes of this module. You may not earn additional credit for the same learning and therefore you may not enrol in this module if you have successfully completed any modules in the incompatible list. |

Module Content & Assessment
| Indicative Content |
|
Preliminary Technical Design
Develop the technical design concept, prepared to satisfy project requirements, and other relevant information, develop sketch documents to enable further discussion and development of the technical design. Conceptual Technical Design: Create high-level technical design description; Identify major components; Feedback any derived requirements that result from the process; Resolve any omissions or errors; Test features that are necessary to meet performance and quality requirements; Identify constraints.
|
|
Technical Design Development
Develop the technical design concept, fine-tune the design, making any changes required, through to the point where the Concept Design drawings meet the requirements of the technical design brief.
|
|
Complete Technical Design
The complete technical design process that satisfies and integrates all aspects of the technical design brief.
|
|
Structural, Engineering and Construction Design
Integration of all engineering requirements into final technical design to develop high-performance/ sustainable project.
|
|
Environmental Response and Human Comfort
Integration of requirements for environmental response and issues of human comfort into final technical design to develop high-performance/ sustainable project.
|
|
Social, Economic, Planning and urban Conditions
Integration of requirements for social, economic, planning and urban conditions into final technical design to develop high-performance/ sustainable project.
