Topics addressed include the origins of the profession, project brief development in relation to client, public and/or user needs; roles and responsibilities of the professional practitioner; processes of working in a team of built environment specialists; processes of research into specific project typologies and methods; overview of codes, regulations and standards; and conventional practice and project administration tools.

Methodologically, students will demonstrate the integration of their academic and disciplinary knowledge and skills through significant projects and/or exhibitions. They will reflect on the value and outputs of their learning through their eportfolio; and they will demonstrate their understanding of professionalism and career-readiness through disciplinary initiatives.
