Following the design experienced gained in papers ENGEV280 and ENGEV380, you will undertake a more advanced environmental engineering design project that demonstrates creativity, functionality and technical engineering knowledge.

You will undertake an advanced environmental engineering design project that initially requires you to define a Project Brief that identifies project requirements including ecological, environmental, societal, cultural and legal constraints. This initial design step is followed by development of several conceptual designs. Based on these conceptual designs, you will individually develop elements of the preferred solution using specialist engineering knowledge to undertake a robust detail design supported by a package of calculations, simulations and drawings.

The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/

This paper will be taught through a combination of design studio sessions and lectures. Working in design teams, you will select a 2 hr weekly design studio session where you will be given hands on advice from staff on how to progress your design projects by balancing often conflicting needs to develop a preferred solution. These 2 hour design studio session will be held in the Engineering Design Studio and accompanied by a weekly lecture that offers specific knowledge and information on different aspects of the design project such as design thinking, design safety, build-ability, sustainability, effective presentations, keeping a design journal etc. Attendance is highly recommended at all workshops and lectures.
