Structures

The aim of the Collaborative Digital Design minor is to provide a series of units in which:

* You will collaborate with students from different disciplines across Design on developing designs against a range of criteria.

* You will learn to use a range of software tools that improve communication between the members of the design and manufacture/construction team and between the project team and non-technical stakeholder.

* You will use a range of software support tools that allow the rapid exploration of alternatives and resolution of design problems.

* You will develop skills to reflect on and characterise how tools support interdisciplinary collaboration and to understand how these tools may fit into workflows in industry.

Students will complete four units from the list below including at least two (2) BEB-coded units.

Bachelor of Design students only

This minor is designed to ensure that students with interest and capacity for higher degree research have the opportunity, during their undergraduate degree, to be well-prepared to undertake further study following graduation. This minor contains units that allow you to develop, implement and evaluate research knowledge and skills.

Units will be offered to illustrate a broad range of research types such as practice-led research, experimentally-based research, and work-based research.

This minor will allow you to undertake structured work experience, guided by academic objectives, for academic credit.

*KKB351 and KKB352 will be available from second semester 2013.

The Indigeneous Studies and Sustainability minors have been discontinued from 2013.

Bachelor of Design students only

This minor has been developed in consultation with the Oodgeroo Unit, to focus on indigenous perspectives on built environment and engineering and the professions served by these fields of study.

Units will be sourced in other Faculties & Divisions. Further information on units included in this minor is available at the Oodgeroo Unit subject information page at http://www.oodgeroo.qut.edu.au/about/unitscourse.jsp

SELECT 48cp from the Indigenous Studies Unit Options below:

Maximum of one unit of Work-integrated Learning (BEB701-BEB707). Work experience must be conducted in a professional or community organisation focusing on Indigenous issues.

This minor will allow you to develop deeper understandings of and specialisations in the future role of your profession in the sustainable development of modern societies. The minor will build on Faculty-wide common units in Professional Learning and Sustainability.

Minor structure:

* One to four specialisation units

* Up to two units of work-integrated learning (WIL)

* Up to two problem-based multidisciplinary project units

NOTES: Students would be expected to complete one of DEB100/ENB100/UDB100 first, but this would not be a prerequisite.

All students in the Bachelor of Design seeking a Minor in Sustainability must take a minimum of two of the following units: BEB901-BEB904

Design students enrolling in the Sustainability minor must first consult and obtain approval from the Subject Area Coordinator/Course Coordinator prior to enrolling in BEB801 or BEB802.
