Objectives

On this course, the student works as part of a multidisciplinary design team alongside other students representing various actors in the built environment. Upon completion of the course, the student will:

• Be familiar with the tasks of designers and the level of documentation at different stages of a construction project.
• Be able to describe the various phases of a design project and the roles of the parties involved.
• Act as a member of a multidisciplinary design team and provide timely input and materials to the team.
• Independently create a schedule for the design project and monitor its implementation.
• Consider the requirements of other design disciplines and integrate their solutions into a functional whole.
