Description
In this Pre-Professional studio students participate in multidisciplinary projects that draw on the various design aspects of Civil and Environmental Engineering, such as structural, geotechnical, environmental and construction aspects. The subject enables students to explore and integrate various civil engineering related disciplines, highlighting the importance of a cohesive approach to solving complex problems. Students are asked to draw on and critically incorporate the ways non-technical factors that influence engineering outcomes such as social, cultural, ethical, legal, political, environmental, and economic contexts on technical engineering designs. By the end of the subject, students will have developed a comprehensive appreciation of the multifaceted nature of civil engineering projects and their impact on communities and the environment.
