In this module, the students will work in groups of three or four. Each group will be
given an engineering design problem and they will be expected to prepare a design
report including (i) an environmental impact statement, (ii) a preliminary design for
the project and (iii) detailed design of certain elements.

PART B
Workload:
ECTS credits represent the student workload for the programme of study, i.e. the total time
the student spends engaged in learning activities. This includes formal teaching, homework,
self-directed study and assessment.
Modules are assigned credits that are whole number multiples of 5.
One credit is equivalent to 20-25 hours of work. An undergraduate year’s work of 60 credits is
equivalent to 1200 to 1500 hours or 40 to 50 hours of work per week for two 15 week
semesters (12 weeks of teaching, 3 weeks study and formal examinations).

Module Learning Outcomes
(CAN BE EXPANDED)
On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to:
1 Understand the different elements an integrated engineering design project and
work in a team setting to successfully complete a project
2 Consider a number of different solution options and select the option that is most
effective and efficient
3 Carry out an environmental impact assessment for an engineering project
4 Appreciate the roles of the different disciplines in an engineering project
5 Perform a schematic design for a project
6 Carry out detailed designs for certain elements
7 Assess the ethical, environmental, sustainability, health & safety and risk
considerations for a project
8 Complete a final report and present the proposed design to a group of peers
