Purpose of this assignment: This assignment provides learners with an opportunity to develop the skills needed to devise and implement their knowledge of design principles in a context of a project encompassing construction of residential units, commercial units and services. This assignment also enables the application of knowledge, understanding and skills developed in other units, and where possible experiences from work. Learners will also develop skills to carry out evaluations of their own work and be able to present suitable solutions. PART A Scenario You work for an engineering company of your choice as a Trainee Engineer. This can be a company you work for or a company you have researched. Due to the rapid expansion of your company, a few graduate engineers were recruited to join the team to work on a new contract which was recently awarded to your company. You were asked to prepare brief notes to be presented to your new colleagues outlining the important factors and considerations that will affect the design, planning and construction of the project. Later, with the help of your colleagues, sketch a proposal. The Project Construction of 2 office buildings in addition to 10 commercial units, all services and roads necessary for future occupants.
