Conceptual design of multi-disciplinary civil engineering projects; regulatory planning; professional skills; economic, social and environmental assessments.

Learning Outcomes

  • At the completion of this course, all students will be able to:

  • Explain the value of integration in engineering design
  • Be able to work on ‘complex’ (as defined by IPENZ) engineering problems and appreciate their uniqueness
  • Scope a project in terms of client wishes and the key engineering issues involved
  • Determine the resource management issues and constraints on a project
  • Describe conceptual issues and constraints associated with site suitability and construction options
  • Prepare an estimate of cost for a civil engineering project, including a Monte Carlo analysis of uncertainty
  • Prepare engineering drawings of sufficient detail for cost estimates and funding decisions
  • Prepare a professional report for  a client
  • Prepare a poster for a client of the main aspects of a design

Notes

Civil Project
The Civil Project this will be a redesign of McCormacks Bay in Christchurch.  This will involve reconsideration of land use and the implications for transportation, water supply, wastewater, and stormwater.  Social and ecological impacts will be considered.  The reports will assess the feasibility of a conceptual design for a private design/build development.

Natural Resources Project
The Natural Resources Project will be a conceptual design for the use of renewable energy sources for Stewart Island.  This would reduce or completely eliminate the existing use of diesel fuel for electricity generation in the township.  The designs will consider an appropriate mixture of wind, solar, and hydroelectric sources.  The designs must consider social and environmental impacts.

Site Visit Tour (Natural Resources):
All Natural Resource Engineering students will attend a site visit tour during the Term Break to meet with practicing engineers and examine engineering applications relevant to the NRE degree.  There will be relevant exam question(s).

Industry Mentors:  
Students will be placed into nine different streams.  Each stream will have an industry mentor.  Civil and Natural Resources students will be placed into separate mentor streams.
