Module Description

1.   Sustainable Construction 建築持續發展

The aim of this unit is to enable learners to know which features of the natural environment need to be protected and understand how the activities of the construction and built environment sector impact on the natural environment. Learners will also find out about how the natural environment can be protected against these activities, including the use of sustainable construction techniques.

2.  Surveying in Construction and Civil Engineering 土地測量

The aim of this unit is to enable learners to develop skills in linear and leveling surveys, measuring angles and setting out of small buildings.

3.  Health Safety & Welfare in Construction 建築職安健

This unit enables learners to understand the responsibilities of employers and employees and the control measures used to reduce risk and meet legal requirements. They will gain knowledge of how to undertake risk assessments and accident recording and reporting procedures.

4.  Maths in Construction and Built Environment 建築計算學

The aim of this unit is to enable learners to use mathematical techniques and methods to manipulate and/or solve formulae, equations and algebraic expressions. Learners will be able to select and apply mathematical, geometric, trigonometric, graphical and statistical techniques to solve practical construction problems.

5.   Construction in Civil Engineering土木工程學

The aim of this unit is to gives learners knowledge of the fundamental techniques, processes, and materials used in the construction of civil engineering works, and the factors that constrain civil engineering work. Learners will also gain an understanding of the function of civil engineers and of the economics and lifecycle issues associated with infrastructure projects, and develop skills in selecting plant, materials, and methods for civil engineering projects.

6.  Construction Technology and Design in Construction 建築設計方法及步驟

The aim of this unit is to enable learners to gain knowledge of construction methods and factors that influence design, and develop skills in communicating ideas between team members and in translating construction details into written and graphical instructions.

7.  Science & Materials in Construction 建築材料

This unit develops learner knowledge of the factors that affect human comfort, the performance criteria applicable to construction materials, and the techniques used to produce such materials. They will also gain an understanding of how forces act on structures, construction materials and the techniques used to prevent and remedy their deterioration.

8.  Further Maths in Construction 工程數學

This unit aims to enable learners to develop skills in applying transposition of formulae, arithmetical methods, calculus and statistics to construction engineering problems.

9.   Structural Mechanics in Construction & Civil Engineering

建築結構設計及分析

The unit enables learners to develop an understanding of how structural elements behave under load, the skills needed to solve structural mechanics problems, design simple beams, columns, mass retaining walls, and understand how computer software is used in structural analysis and design.

10.  Measurement Techniques in Construction 建造工作測量

The aim of this unit is to enable learners to develop the skills required to apply measurement techniques to produce a bill of quantities.

11.  Project in Construction and the Built Environment 建築項目管理及計劃

This unit aims to enable learners to develop the skills needed to specify, plan and implement a project relating to construction and the built environment, and then present the project outcomes to an audience.

12.   Tendering & Estimating in Construction 估算及投標文件

This unit will give learners the opportunity to develop knowledge of the information needed to produce a tender, an understanding of how different types of tender documentation are used, and to develop skills needed to calculate unit rates for an element or trade section of a bill of quantities and produce a tender.
