C&ENVENG 1013 - Introduction to Architectural Engineering

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2018

This course is an introduction to the context and practice of architectural engineering. It explores the relationship between the disciplines of architecture and engineering and their differing understanding of what is meant by "design". The course is structured as an integrated, problem-based learning course wherein students demonstrate their increasing knowledge and skills through the longitudinal development of two main projects; one architectural, one engineering. The course provides foundational knowledge, skills and understanding in the areas of: design process (architectural and engineering), structure, optimisation (capacity vs demand), construction materials and detailing, and the construction process. The course also contains the Small Group Discovery Experience project for Level 1 students in the B Eng (Hons) (Civil & Architectural) degree program.

  • Learning Resources
    Required Resources
    Refer to the 'List of Required Equipment for Core Courses' issued by the School of Architecture & Built Environment (SABE).
    This list is explained and handed out to students during the O-Week activities arranged by SABE.
    Recommended Resources
    A reading list is provided in the online resources (MyUni) for this course. There is no single 'textbook' for this course.
    Online Learning
    This course is structured as a ‘blended’ course or ‘blended learning environment’. The curriculum has been conceived by considering all of the elements that need to be ‘delivered’ (lectures, tutorials, consultations, assignments and presentations) and aligning that element with a mode of delivery that is best suited for your learning (face-to-face, online, large class, small group, physical hand-ins and/or pin-ups or online submissions).
    At times students will be required to engage with the content face-to-face, at other times online. The key thing to remember is that this ‘blended’ course is designed for students to be actively engaged in both the online and face-to-face environments. Students who choose not to engage with both will struggle to prosper academically. They may find that they do not have all the pieces of the puzzle!
    Email: Check your student email REGULARLY (daily) as course-related announcements are communicated via email. This is the only way of communicating announcements in this course. It is assumed that students will always read their email and course announcements and no such excuse as: “I haven’t read my email” will be accepted. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to always check your email and course announcements.
    Discussion Board: Students with questions regarding the course (assignments, lectures, studios/tutorials etc) must post these on the Course Discussion Board. This will be monitored by teaching staff and queries responded to within 2-working days (not over weekends). Individual e-mail communication with students on course issues WILL NOT be responded to by teaching staff.
    Wherever possible this course aims to be paperless. All Assignment Handouts with associated Assessment Criteria will be issued electronically. These are accessable through the Course website (MyUni).
    Download the relevant information in advance (before the studio/tutorials for the related subject). No other handouts will be given during the lectures or studio/tutorials, except for materials not capable of being up/downloaded from MyUni.
  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    The course is a ‘blended’ course which demands that students engage with a variety of teaching materials in a variety of different teaching modes. The course includes lectures (face-to-face and online), studio/tutorial sessions (with small exercises as well as presentations), and small group consultations (face-to-face with tutor).
    The course utilises ‘project-based learning’ for students to understand and integrate the lecture materials within a series of longitudinal assignments.

    Small Group Discovery Experience
    A Small Group Discovery Experience (SGDE) is part of the assessment for this course.
    Students will work in small groups (6-7 students) and each group shall spend time in consultation with their Supervising Academic. Across the semester, the group shall undertake a Literature Review from which they shall develop a ‘question’ which identifies a Research Gap, and propose a Research Methodology.
    The SGDE project will be explained in further detail in the Week 1 lecture.
  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Policies & Guidelines

    This section contains links to relevant assessment-related policies and guidelines - all university policies.

  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 成人大片 is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 成人大片 therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
