SYNOPSIS:

These  days  most  engineering  tasks  require  a  "system  approach".
Knowledge, design skills, theory, (computer) tools etc will have to be
combined in a systematic way to complete a complex task. This unit  is
a  practical introduction to this approach. Elementary building blocks
and  theory  covered in previous units will be combined to design  and
develop more complex systems.

Team  work  often  goes  hand in hand with a systems  approach,  hence
working in teams will be an essential part of this unit.

Systems that will be covered include:
.    Structural  systems, such as concrete beams  and  steel  trusses.
     Teams  of students will have to design, build and test their  own
     beam  and  truss  systems  (the team  that  built  the  strongest
     structural system will receive a symbolic prize).
.    Road design using Moss software.
.    Water and sewerage systems.

OBJECTIVES:

On successful completion of this unit students will be able
to:

1. Structures
   
2. Traffic and transport
   
3. Water and sewerage treatment
