Handbook

You will utilise software simulations to engage in virtual environments, enabling you to apply theoretical concepts, develop decision-making skills and gain practical experience, effectively preparing you for real-world challenges.

Through real or hypothetical cases, you will analyse and apply theories and principles to gain practical insights and enhance decision-making abilities.

This unit promotes active learning through workshops, allowing you to practise and apply concepts learned in lectures, focusing on design methods and real-world applications.

You will engage in problem-based projects during workshops and assignments, applying your knowledge to solve real-world problems and develop critical thinking skills.
