Use suitable fonts no smaller than 12 point (except perhaps for footnotes, references,
etc.). Use at least 1-inch margins all around. Note: all graphics and charts, if any, should be
incorporated (inserted) directly into your paper (on a Word page) seamlessly, not attached
separately in a different format or embedded in a program icon. The paper and all charts should
form a single, continuous Word document (and print out as such). Number (and letter) your
answers to match the numbered (and lettered) questions (e.g., 2b), or lose points. All of your
work must be your own. Show how you calculated numerical solutions, if any, and cite
references for quoted or paraphrased material.
(1) (a) Describe a system that is required by government or industry to conform to standards. (b)
Describe the standards. (c) Describe the reasons for the standards. (d) Are there any
disadvantages for a system to conform to these standards?
(2) (a) Describe a system that you know from experience or the literature where some of its
stakeholders were generally beneficial to its development or performance, and how and why they
were beneficial. (b) Describe a system that you know from experience or the literature where
some of its stakeholders were generally detrimental to its development or performance, and how
and why they were detrimental.
(3) (a) Describe a system that you know from experience or the literature where, during its
conceptual design phase, it failed the feasibility analysis. (b) What is a feasibility analysis? (c)
For your chosen system, describe the feasibility analysis and explain why the system failed it. (d)
Describe any changes to the system’s conceptual design which might have allowed the system to
become feasible.
(4) Describe the elements of a system-level synthesis you would perform for a system of
modules that would allow people to live and work on the moon. Provide diagrams if needed for
clarification. The module system can be from the literature or one you design.

I chose a Japanese Torii gate for Engineering because Torii gates take a lot of Engineering because to build Torii gates it takes a lot of hard work by engineers. It takes a long time as well because it takes a lot of wood, stone, or other materials. Torii gates are related to me because I went to Japan in March. I just love how they look and when I see them it reminds me of the great time I had in Japan!

Explore design methods for steel, reinforced concrete beams and columns.
The following drawings are required:
• Column layout plan.
• Building section showing columns, beams and roof structure.
• Beam-column connection details.
Drawings are to be produced in CAD or BIM software and submitted on a minimum of A3-sized sheets.
Drawings must include a title block and be numbered according to industry standard practice.
The following written submissions are required:
• Report on the benefits or drawbacks of an alternative structural solution, utilising a different material
(e.g. if your proposed design is for a steel structure, your report should consider reinforced concrete).
Your evaluation should include calculations and diagrams as necessary to support your position.
• Report and recommendations on the implementation of BIM within your employer’s office. This should consider the benefits and challenges associated with BIM for civil/structural engineering.
You have recently joined a large multi-disciplinary engineering practice as a trainee Civil Engineer. The company are involved in designing buildings, bridges, roads and many other structures crucial to the economic and social well-being of the country. Your employer has been commissioned to develop an outline design proposal, including drawings and specifications, for a small industrial building. You have been assigned the responsibility for developing the structural design. Your employer wishes to provide the client with a specific design solution, but to also inform them of the benefits/drawbacks of using an alternative material/system.
Finally, your employer is also in the process of considering a shift to the use of building information modelling (BIM). You are asked to provide a brief assessment of how BIM may benefit the practice in terms of the production and management of information, and collaboration with other professions.
 To evaluate, secondary beams and main beams design, in the use of concrete or steel. The
material can be cold foam steel, reinforced steel, and high grade steel. It should have enough
strength, and with the environmental and safety consideration.
 Develop the design solution, Include beam, slab or column design with regarding to code of
practice in Hong Kong. The load path is from slab to beam and then to column, the reference
referred and the specification involved
 Produce drawing, you can see the effect of 3D visualization is good, which replace the real
modelling as in before.Also produce drawings, with the corresponding specification.
 Assess the use of BIM, BIM has the use of 3D application, it has clash detection, it also can transfer file from pdf and drawing plan to BIM file. In BIM, once one layer is needed to correct, the other layer will also change accordingly.
 This make BIM more convenient than the use of Auto-cad. Also BIM is a fair and good judgement among the parties of client, consultant and contractor.
 The design solution include beam design and column design, which follows the Code of Practice as in the Building Department. Frame structure or truss structure can be adopted
 The drawings submitted will be in A3 size, with the load path, specification, material, code of
practice and the construction method statement.
The alternative material include FRP and also some called cold foam steel, but not commonly used in Hong Kong.
P7) Develop a design solution, including beam design and column design, for a given scenario. Can you add a part print of P8 drawings and highlight which beam, column, slab that you are going to check?
So I can easily to check your P7 calculation is consistent with your P8 drawings.
Please show more steps and cite the Code of Practice in your design calculation
P8) Produce drawings and specifications in support of a structural design solution. The drawings should be below. See task requirements again. The P7 and P8 should be consistent.
