B.A. (Arch)

EG1311 Design and Make

This course covers fundamentals of engineering design and prototyping. Students will learn design principles and tools through lectures, and apply what they learn in an experiential group design project. Students will develop skills in Arduino-controlled electronics, CAD modelling, and rapid prototyping to demonstrate their ideas.

EG1311BE Design and Make

This course introduces the fundamentals of performance-driven design/engineering and the techniques of prototyping in the context of the built environment industry. The purpose of prototyping in this course is to evaluate performance criteria in areas of daylight provision, indoor thermal comfort and structural stability of the adjustable sun shading devices. Students will acquire basic performance-based design principles and skills through lecture and experiential learning through group design and prototyping projects. Relevant modelling software will also be introduced to guide and inform the prototyping process.
