Moodle

This online space has been set up in 2013 to provide an online space for Bradford College tutors to upload their assignments via Turnitin and to view some guidance documentation and resources.

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this unit students will be able to: 

1.  Formulate a project that will provide a solution to an identified problem. 

2.  Manage a project within agreed timescales and specification; documenting the 

process throughout. 

3.  Evaluate potential project management solutions. 

4.  Produce a project report and deliver a presentation of the final project 

outcomes. 

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this unit students will be able to: 

1.  Explain the terminology used in construction technology. 

2.  Describe the different techniques used to construct a range of substructures 

and superstructures, including their function and design selection criteria. 

3.  Identify the different types of civil engineering/infrastructure technology used 

in support of buildings. 

4.  Illustrate the supply and distribution of a range of building services and how 

they are accommodated within the building. 

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this unit students will be able to: 

1.  Review health and safety regulations and legislation associated with the 

storage, handling and use of materials on a construction site. 

2.  Discuss the environmental and sustainability factors which can impact on and 

influence the material choices for a construction project. 

3.  Present material choices for a given building using performance properties, 

experimental data, sustainability and environmental consideration. 

4.  Evaluate the performance of a given building in respect of its human comfort 

requirements. 

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this unit students will be able to: 

1.  Describe the construction industry with reference to company structures and 

other activities. 

2.  Explain different types of construction companies in the market and their 

relationships within the tendering process.  

3.  Discuss the key stages in a construction project, and how Building Information 

Modelling informs the different stages. 

4.  Analyse how the construction industry has developed suitable collaboration 

strategies in support of greater recognition of health & safety. 

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this unit students will be able to: 

1.  Examine the process used to obtain planning permission for the construction 

and alteration of buildings. 

2.  Discuss the processes and regulations used to control design and to ensure 

safe buildings. 

3.  Assess the laws used to ensure that construction sites operate safely and 

consider adjoining land-users. 

4.  Analyse how the law of contract and land law are used to sell and lease land 

and buildings. 

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this unit students will be able to: 

1.  Evaluate different types of construction information in the context of diverse 

project types. 

2.  Develop construction drawings, details, schedules and specifications in support 

of a given construction project. 

3.  Interpret different types of construction information in order to explain a 

construction project. 

4.  Assess ways in which construction professionals collaborate in the production 

of construction information. 

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this unit students will be able to: 

1.  Undertake a survey to establish a station network for horizontal and vertical 

control. 

2.  Explain the process of undertaking a topographic survey. 

3.  Apply industry standard techniques in the production, transferring and staking 

out of co-ordinates of multiple construction elements. 

4.  Prepare a report on the causes of errors and techniques to improve accuracy, 

including the use of digital data. 

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this unit students will be able to: 

1.  Identify the relevance of mathematical methods to a variety of conceptualised 

construction examples. 

2.  Investigate applications of statistical techniques to interpret, organise and 

present data by using appropriate computer software packages. 

3.  Use analytical and computational methods for solving problems by relating 

sinusoidal wave and vector functions to their respective construction 

applications. 

4.  Illustrate the wide-ranging uses of calculus within different construction 

disciplines by solving problems of differential and integral calculus. 

This unit is about health, safety and welfare policy and how it is implemented in an organisation. The knowledge gained applies to all workplaces whether a site, workshop, office or elsewhere.

It is now accepted that the sport industry is an important generator of economic activity and employment and, while the public and voluntary sectors of the industry play a part, it is the commercial sector in sport that accounts for the major share of sport-related economic activity & employment. This unit will investigate the size, scale and impact of sport in the UK.

This unit explores the structure and function of the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and how each responds to exercise. To complete the unit, each of the three energy systems are examined.
