Demonstrate competence in programming fundamentals including structure and best practice.

Structure of assessments
This module is assessed by component B, weighted as 100 % of the final mark. To pass the module you must achieve a final mark of at least 40 %. This assessment brief is for the resit of component B. The intended learning outcomes are:
• Demonstrate competence in programming fundamentals including structure and best practice.
• Apply numerical methods in a programming context to solve common civil engineering problems.
• Write programs to generate data for, or solve civil engineering problems
• Critically compare numerical methods and programmes, considering computational ef- ficiency and accuracy of the results.

Critically discuss whether future generations will have enough fossil fuels, minerals, biomass and water to enjoy the same standard of living as we do today.

Sustainability and Climate change

According to Chris Goodall, the first criteria for sustainability is that, ‘our use of materials, fuels and products of the soil must not reduce the resources available to future generations if this constrains their standard of living below ours’. So, are we going to run out of anything?
Critically discuss whether future generations will have enough fossil fuels, minerals, biomass and water to enjoy the same standard of living as we do today. Where possible try to quantitatively evaluate the future sustainability of these things based on facts and figures rather than limiting your discussion to qualitative arguments. In each case, critically discuss the various ways in which engineers might make a difference illustrating your points with suitable examples.

Evaluate the risks associated with moving from a traditional construction method for constructing concrete formwork , to an advanced method that will be designed to take advantage of additive and/or automated and digital techniques.

Risk Engineering

You have been tasked to evaluate the risks associated with moving from a traditional
construction method for constructing concrete formwork , to an advanced method that will be designed to take advantage of additive and/or automated and digital techniques.
Firstly, draw on your engineering background to gain an overview of the current
construction methods and their respective times. Obviously, this information may not be readily available, therefore, you may be required to make some assumptions – but use your engineering judgements to make sure these are justified.
Then, select an appropriate advanced / alternative method for your project. It could also be a future construction method that is yet to be commercialised. Remember, this subject is about risk engineering, and this report does not require a full technical evaluation.
The next stage will be to implement a risk management process based on the ISO31000 and the content of this course. Some things to think about would include:
● Risks and opportunities
● Hazards
● Safe design principles
● The risk management process
o Risk identification
o Risk analysis
o Risk evaluation
o Risk treatment
o Risk monitoring and review
● Techniques and tools used for planning and probabilistic analysis
o CPM
o PERT
o Monte Carlo
● Summary
o Conclusions and lessons learnt
o Recommendations
o Future research
Go through the step-by-step process with your team, brainstorm what the different risks for you company and project are, where they are coming from, are they internal or external, what category, etc. Set-up a risk matrix and score the various risks.
With regard to the techniques and tools you will use for planning and probabilistic
analysis you may wish to compare different methods. For instance, one could compare the use of PERT calculations to a Monte Carlo simulation?
You will need to include at least one network diagram – preferably two. One could be
either specific to an assembly process .
The other could be related to your company as a whole, i.e., buy raw materials 🡪 manufacture part 🡪 package and store 🡪 ship part/component to customer etc. In each case there are risks involved and they can be assigned times, or costs or both.
How can digital design/construction be of use when implementing and monitoring risks?
Could you think of a feedback loop for data along the path?
These are some of the questions you should cover in your report

Critically analyse and evaluate transient response characteristics of first and second order systems.

Project: Control design of a pH neutralization plant for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment.

The tasks within this assignment satisfy the Learning Outcomes of the course:
1) Demonstrate advanced knowledge of core principles of control and
instrumentation.
2) Critically analyse and evaluate transient response characteristics of first and
second order systems.
3) Apply and demonstrate instrumentation and control strategies for a feedback
control system.
4) Formulate, apply and present tuning methods for finding suitable PID controller
parameters to meet an industry standard requirement for a defined control
design problem
This project is worth 30% of your final grade and uses MATLAB/SIMULINK to design a controller for a pH neutralization plant. The time scale of the project will be announced
by your tutor

Critically evaluate the risk management process and develop a risk register and associated matrices to both identify and perform a risk analysis for dealing with the project and environmental impact of the proposed project including the demolition of the existing school.

Project Management Practice

You have been appointed as the Project Manager for the project and your CEO has asked for a strategic report that satisfies the following:

1. Critically evaluate the risk management process and develop a risk register and associated matrices to both identify and perform a risk analysis for dealing with the project and environmental impact of the proposed project including the demolition of the existing school. A minimum number of 12  risk issues should be identified and justified.

2. The need to ensure quality throughout the project is essential. Critically analyse quality management systems and processes and develop a Quality Management Strategy for the project.

3. Based on existing literature critically analysis Value Management in relation to the project and make recommendation to the client on feasible solutions which may be adopted to give the best Value for Money.

4. To improve the performance, innovation is essential. Critically discuss any two technologies of your choice, showing how they can be used on this project at any point in the asset life cycle, to improve sustainability,
