Pre-requisite: E0004+E1002
The engineering design and documentation of a large proportion of building structures cannot be regarded as a problem solving exercise whereby unique solutions are generated to suit the specific requirements of a one off project. Rather, economics of repetition and scale must be achieved by recognising that much design involves the appropriate choice, modification and application of standard architectural, structural and construction systems to a particular project. This unit focuses on the understanding and application of such standard systems with an emphasis appropriate to a Bachelor of Technology graduate in an industry role as a building structures design drafter.
