Synopsis

The aim of the module is to provide you with an opportunity to work in multi-disciplinary teams and enable you to perform tasks related to the role of an Architectural Technologist in the context of a team based project. It offers you the experience of team working and the multi-disciplinary nature of built environment projects. The project will allow you to practice and further develop both technology-related and generic key skills required by a built environment professional and encourage self-reflection and enable you to further develop a personal development plan that aligns your learning needs and career aspirations and the requirements of professional institutions.

Learning Strategy

The module is delivered through a series of formal briefing sessions, guest lectures, workshops and tutorials in support of project based activity.

The project will be designed to simulate a real life scenario in the local area. You are expected to interact with the local authorities and practitioners in order to ascertain the relevant information to complete the tasks. Local practitioners will be invited to deliver guest lectures for different aspects of the project. You will be required to submit a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate that a number of Architectural Technology related tasks have been completed on an individual basis as well as the nature of your interactions with the other members of the team.

This project also provides an opportunity for you to monitor and update your personal development plan (PDP) goals to be aligned with the multi-disciplinary team working environments.

Your independent learning will be supported by the University online learning environment (VLE).
