CON6003 - Collaborative and Interprofessional Practice

Objectives:

Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.

Content:

This module will explore the critical attributes students need to walk into the world of work. Students will be given tasks which they have to execute and be judged on industry standards. They have to address themselves with industry titles e.g. contracts Manager, Construction project manager, Cost Engineer, Construction Director etc. relative to the type of tasks they have to execute. The modules are intended to inspire and motivate collaboration and creativity skills and through critical thinking students, working as part of a team, have to deliver solutions to the project brief. The module will enable students to gain knowledge on how to benefit from professional development as they evolve throughout their careers.

- By working in teams, students will develop team dynamics and enterprise skills by producing a full set of renovation proposals for a case study building project

- The module will enable students to develop and demonstrate entrepreneurship skills through critical thinking and producing fully annotated elevations that convey the restoration and newly built elevations as determined by the brief and using a variety of outputs to present data for various stakeholders

- The module project prepares candidates for the real world of work; they appraise the needs of a project from feasibility, design, and preconstruction stages

- Justify solutions by collating and synthesising information as part of value engineering and recommending alternative restoration design approaches while reflecting on subject pedagogy such as lean production, JIT, offsite manufacturing and carefully articulating the benefits concerning the speed of erection, quality of assembly, airtightness, and predicted energy efficiency savings

- Identify and advice the client perceived improvements in the functional performance of what may have been once a dilapidated and desolate historic building

- Demonstrate critical understanding of the client’s brief and carefully articulate the end value and or commercial benefits to the client and or other intended end users/beneficiaries as explained in the brief

- While working in teams, identify SDGSs deliverables from the project-brief and how these may shape the design solutions underpinned by a deeper understanding of embedded pedagogies associated with scarcity of land, sustainability and recyclability of listed and no-listed heritage assets

- Working as part of a team:
a) take ownership for the overall refurbishment/restoration outcomes and advice the clients accordingly
b) develop teams-dynamics in making collective ethical decisions, reflecting on the role of the professional body in:
i) promoting the reuse and reinvigoration of old desolate buildings (thus promoting recyclability, combating climate change and its impact);
ii)creating multiplier effects out of the entire production process of restoration, helping to sustain and enable an inclusive, sustainable economic growth for the heritage sector; and,
iii) enabling full and productive employment and decent work for all heritage trades.

Further Details Relating to Assessment

001 Individual Written Proposal
002 Group Portfolio

The module aims to enable students demonstrate a higher level of compliance and commitment to legislative stipulations when producing real-world solutions. Use knowledge gained from working in teams to display high dexterities in the use and presentation of ICT- outputs cognisance of the benefits in completing tasks ahead of time and in giving other team members the lead time necessary to act or adopt the same information when completing other follow-up tasks respectively. Therefore, the benefits of working in teams and collaboration with other specialisms should result in:
- Making fewer changes and rework to final refurbishment/restoration/retrofitting outlines
- Meriting the delivery of a project on time, within standard and quality as specified
- Ensuring there is less wasted materials, capital and manpower
- Safeguarding the corporate’s brand reputation and the professional competences of the team
- Giving and advising fully-fledged low-carbon solutions (as evidenced in the presentations)
- All of the above should result in well satisfied, well-informed clients and other project stakeholders.

Please note that The Chartered Institute of Building – CIOB - and The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors – RICS - professional bodies require students to achieve a pass mark in all assessed components, as this module carries Mandatory competences for the QS Pathway.

Further details of assessment are available in the Assessment Handbook for your programme and in Assessment Briefs provided by Module Tutors.
