C&ENVENG 4041 - Structural Design Practice

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2019

This course will involve an authentic design project emulating a real world project in the structural engineering consulting profession. Students will consolidate and apply knowledge form structural mechanics, reinforced concrete and structural steel design in order to complete the design of a realistic structure according to Australian Standards. In completing this design students will become familiar with the complexities and ambiguities of design. Students will need to demonstrate a capacity for self-management, independent learning and higher level professional communication skills.

Course Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

1	Apply knowledge of structural design principles to the conceptual design of a buildings superstructure through the synthesis of the client’s requirements and evaluation of potential design options;
2	Demonstrate effective oral communication skills by delivering a client briefing to present the conceptual designs evaluated;
3	Demonstrate the fluid application of engineering techniques by scoping and subsequently preparing detailed design calculations to Australian design standards;
4	Critically review design calculations prepared by others;
5	Communicate the final design of a structure through the production of engineering drawings;
6	Demonstrate orderly management of self and professional conduct by managing time effectively and behave in a professional manner in relationships with clients, industrial mentors and other stakeholders involved in the project; and
7	Demonstrate the ability to function as an effective team member by earning the trust and confidence of colleagues through competent and timely completion of tasks, recognising the diversity of the team members and respect for alternative viewpoints.

The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers Australia .
The course is designed to develop the following Elements of Competency: 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.6 2.1 2.2 2.3 3.1 3.2 3.4 3.5 3.6

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

Each week there are 2x two-hour sessions. These will be run mainly as design workshops in which the students interact with industry design engineers. Some of these sessions will also be used to deliver lectures on key design topics.

Learning Activities Summary

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

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

Assessment Summary

Assessment Task	Weighting (%)	Individual/ Group	Formative/ Summative	Due (week)*	Hurdle criteria	Learning outcomes
Phase 1 Detailed design calculations **	20	Group	Summative	5	-	1-6
Phase 2 Detailed design calculations **	40	Group	Summative	11	-	1-6
Design drawings	10	Group	Summative	13	-	4-6
Exam	30	Group	Summative	-	40%	3-4
Total	100

* The specific due date for each assessment task will be available on MyUni.

** For these assessment tasks it is compulsory that students complete a SPLAT peer assessment on MyUni.

This assessment breakdown is registered as an exemption to the University's . The exemption is related to the Procedures clause(s): 1. a. i

Assessment Detail

Details of all assessment tasks will be available on MyUni.
Project work is group based (5-6 students) and students will be required to peer assess through SPLAT.

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.

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.
