Aims and objectives
1. Proficiently use relevant Australian Standards to derive the basic design actions and their combinations. (K1, K2, K3, A4)
2. Proficiently use relevant Australian Standards and design handbooks and proficiently apply principles of engineering analysis and design, using both conventional manual and computer aided to design individual structural elements and systems. (K1, K2, K3, K4, K6, S1, S2, S3, S4, A2)
3. Generate detailed analysis and design calculations and drawings suitable for presentation to the construction industry. (K5, K6, S1, A1, A2, A5, A6, A7)

Content
Students will work in teams on a major project divided into three sections supported by a series of briefings and weekly group consultations. A new real design project is presented each year.
The design report produced will include computations and drawings as appropriate. Students will be given guidance in the theory and practice aimed at coordinating the activities involved. The unit involves the development of formal computation and drawing presentation.
