Stage 1 Project
Reference SU1100 Version 3
Created January 2023 SCQF Level SCQF 7
Approved October 2020 SCQF Points 15
Amended July 2023 ECTS Points 7.5

Aims of Module
To provide the student with the ability to integrate and consolidate the surveying skills studied within other Stage 1 modules.

Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
1 Perform basic surveying tasks and record data in an industry approved format during an industrial simulation of a small building project.
2 Produce, where appropriate, relevant design specifications, drawings, plans and a 3D drawn model for a simulated building project.
3 Using information technology to process numerical data, prepare relevant cost advice to a Client based upon a simulated project.

Indicative Module Content
This module is intended to simulate the traditional design process and to identify and allow practice of the application of professional surveying skills. It will be based upon collaborative groupwork and individual working in a practical context. Students will be introduced to the latest 3D drawing software packages to produce models. Students will be encouraged to investigate sustainable methods of construction for a small building project.

Module Delivery
This is a module predominantly involving practical work in relation to a project which may include, surveying, field and studio work and, where appropriate, site visits. Directed study to core texts and resource material will be encouraged. Some collaborative teamworking is included within the delivery of the module.
