Subject Overview:	This subject is the capstone subject for degrees in Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering. Students will initially work as individuals on conducting an in-depth review of the literature related to an aspect of a broad design project, which will then be followed by a large group project. The project will require students to work in teams developing an integrated solution to a real-world engineering problem. Particular emphasis will be placed on developing innovative solutions that consider long term sustainability. Students will concurrently learn applications of construction engineering, project planning and management techniques
Objectives:	At the completion of this subject students should be able to: Identify the principles and practices in the field of construction engineering Evaluate and explain the professional and ethical responsibilities relevant to engineering Demonstrate their ability to work in a team on a complex engineering project Critically evaluate engineering literature and write concise reports from that evaluation Conduct a design as a team on a multifaceted project Develop a range of strategies and choose a preferred strategy that satisfies sustainability requirements Describe the roles of design, investigation and construction practices in the field of construction engineering Create clients’ and stakeholders’ requirements, specifications, and professional documentation/technical report Apply core management techniques to project execution Assess the work of their peers
Assessment:	A 2-hour examination, end of Semester 1 (35%) A Scoping report (1000 words), due at the beginning of Semester 2 (10%) An individual report (3000 words), due mid Semester 2 (25%) A Peer assessment report (500 words), due mid Semester 2 (5%) A group report (2000 words per person), due at end of the year (15%) An oral presentation (10 mins), at the end of the year (10%)
