LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning Outcomes: Cognitive SkillsOn the completion of this course successful students will be able to: |
|
Understand and apply mitigating measures to counteract the risks/impacts of construction projects in the context of construction project management. (EL10M, EL13M, EA7M, EA8M, EL8M, P9m, P11m) |
Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies Students’ intellectual skills are developed through lectures, tutorials, directed reading, problem-solving scenarios and student presentations. Methods of Assessment Assessment is made using coursework (individual and group submissions), and in oral presentations by both individuals and project groups. |
Critically analyse, evaluate and interpret qualitative and quantitative data, paying particular attention to digital information development and exchange (SM7M, EA7M, P12M, EL11M, P10m, D9M, D10M, D11M, EL12M) |

Learning Outcomes: Transferable SkillsOn the completion of this course successful students will be able to: |
|
Make effective use of both oral and written skills and be able to communicate effectively, both digitally and interpersonally, to both specialist and non‐specialist audiences within the context of information technology application. (G1m, G2m, G3m, G4m |
Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies Students’ transferable skills are developed through presentations exercises, student and tutor-led discussions, preparation for oral and written presentations, group-working exercises and the extended individual project. Methods of Assessment The assessment of the majority of the transferable skills forms an integral part of the overall assessment of the degree pathway. Group-working and written and oral communication skills are assessed directly. Practical skills in the use of Information Technology are not formally assessed, although the development of IT skills are integral of the learning and teaching process underpinning the degree and are assessed indirectly. |
The aptitude to learn and then apply that learning in the context of Project Management using Building Information Modelling. |
