This is the assessment. I have it as a resit i need a really good grade to pass. That's my last attempt. You have the freedom to select any type of truss bridge available online (you can refer to examples of truss bridges online for inspiration). However, the bridge's full span should not exceed 10 meters, and its width should not exceed 2.5 meters. Specify the material(s) used in the bridge (timber, steel, concrete, etc.) and incorporate appropriate infill patterns to represent them/n UWE Bristol University of the West of England College of Arts, Technology and Environment YEAR 2023/24 Assessment Brief Submission and feedback dates Submission details Module title and code: Assessment title: Assessment weighting: UBGMSQ-15-1 Engineering Graphics and Communication CAD and BIM exercise 45% of the total module mark Module learning outcomes assessed by this task: 1. MO2 Present basic engineering information in the form of a 2D CAD drawing and 3D CAD in the context of Building Information Modelling. 2. MO3 Identify and apply the principles of Building Information Modelling (BIM) 3. MO4 Communicate accurately and reliably in a variety of forms, demonstrating coherent argument Completing your assessment What am I required to do on this assessment? The task is to design and develop an elevation and plan view of a truss footbridge using AutoCAD and then to create a 3D model of this truss bridge in Revit. Where should I start? This assignment consists of two components: the AutoCAD drawings and the Revit 3D model. Detailed explanations for both are provided below. Please ensure that your student number is included in the title blocks. AutoCAD drawings The AutoCAD drawings account for 70% of the overall mark of this assignment. As previously mentioned, your task in this component is to design and develop an elevation and plan view of a truss footbridge using AutoCAD. These views should include construction details such as welded or bolted connections between bars to convey maximum information about the bridge. Both views must be presented on a single A3-sized paper and submitted as a PDF file through the module's Blackboard page. It is essential to maintain a high level of professionalism in your presentation and ensure the drawing is done at an appropriate scale. Additionally, consider the following points: • You have the freedom to select any type of truss bridge available online (you can refer to examples of truss bridges online for inspiration). However, the bridge's full • • span should not exceed 10 meters, and its width should not exceed 2.5 meters. Specify the material(s) used in the bridge (timber, steel, concrete, etc.) and incorporate appropriate infill patterns to represent them. Your drawing should include a bridge deck suitable for pedestrian use, with a minimum height of 2.5 meters. Avoid including accessory elements or human figures in the drawing, but do include annotations that describe each structural element. Use dimensions and guidelines to fully describe the sizing of the bridge. Your drawing must be in black and white. As mentioned above, the final submission must be in PDF format and fit on a single A3 page. Being able to adhere to correct formats and specifications is an important skill for both academic and professional applications of your work output. Revit 3D model The Revit 3D model comprises 30% of the element mark for this assignment. In this second component, your task is to create a 3D model of the footbridge you previously designed in AutoCAD, using Revit. For your guidance, consider these actions: • Start by producing a plan, elevation, and section view of your footbridge. You can utilise the tools demonstrated in the instructional video available here. • From the plan, elevation, and section views, you can then generate a 3D view. Additionally, you can select a camera position of your preference to showcase your footbridge from an aesthetically pleasing angle. • The 3D view of your model must be presented on an A3-sized paper, exported, and submitted as a PDF through the module's Blackboard page. Additional Considerations: • You can incorporate a surrounding landscape and rendering to enhance the visual appeal of your 3D model. • • You should include a 3D human figure within your model to provide a sense of scale and perspective. Unlike the AutoCAD component, you are not required to include detailed connections between bars in the Revit 3D model. What do I need to do to pass? In order to pass this piece of coursework, you need to achieve a mark of at least 40%. The marking criteria are detailed in the Marks and Feedback section below. How do the learning and teaching relate to the assessment, and where do I find resources? This assessment corresponds to the lectures conducted during weeks 9-12 and practical sessions in weeks 10-12 and 14. Lecture slides and handouts utilised in these sessions are accessible via the module's Blackboard page. For the AutoCAD component, you'll find a set of introductory videos and explanatory tutorials in the Learning Materials section on Blackboard. These resources can serve as valuable examples to assist you in your own process. Regarding the Revit part, in addition to the previously mentioned video outlining the fundamentals of Revit, there are also links to two LinkedIn Learning courses that you may find beneficial: Learning Revit 2021: https://www.linkedin.com/learning/learning-revit-2021/getting- started-with-revit?autoplay=true&u=56744785 Revit 2021: Essential Training for Structure (Metric): https://www.linkedin.com/learning/revit-2021-essential-training-for-structure- metric/welcome-2?autoplay=true&u=56744785 What do I do if I am concerned about completing this assessment? UWE Bristol offers a range of Assessment Support Options that you can explore through this link, and both Academic Support and Wellbeing Support are available. For further information, please see the Academic Survival Guide. Use the support above if you feel unable to submit your own work for this module, or contact Tiago Ferreira (Tiago.Ferreira@uwe.ac.uk) or Justin Robbins (Justin. Robbins@uwe.ac.uk) to get support. How do I avoid an Assessment Offence in this module? All assessments in this module are individual work. The work you submit must be your own work. Submitting work that is copied in part or whole from another student with or without their permission is an assessment offence. Marks and Feedback Your assessment will be marked according to the following marking criteria (weighting in brackets): Assessment Criteria for AutoCAD drawings: • Compliance with Specifications (20%): Ensure that your design strictly adheres to the provided specifications. This includes meeting the size criteria, appropriate material selection, and correctly incorporating infill patterns and a pedestrian-friendly bridge deck. • Technical Proficiency (20%): Your mastery of AutoCAD is crucial. Precision, adherence to scale, and the effective use of dimensions and guidelines will be assessed. • • • • Clarity and Detail (15%): Assess the clarity of your drawing. Are construction details well-defined and do they effectively communicate essential information about the bridge without ambiguity? Professional Presentation (15%): The professionalism of your presentation is vital. Ensure that your drawing is neat, well-labelled, and organised. Annotations (15%): Evaluate the quality of your annotations. Do they provide clear, concise, and informative descriptions of each structural element? Compliance with Submission Requirements (10%): Comply with submission guidelines. Your submission should be in black and white, in PDF format, and fit on a single A3 page.

UWE Bristol's UWE's Assessment Offences Policy requires that you submit work that is entirely your own and reflects your own learning, so it is important to: 1. Ensure you reference all sources used, using the UWE Harvard system and the guidance available on UWE's Study Skills referencing pages. 2. Avoid copying and pasting any work into this assessment, including your own previous assessments, work from other students or internet sources 3. Develop your own style, arguments and wording, so avoid copying sources and changing individual words but keeping, essentially, the same sentences and/or structures from other sources 4. Never give your work to others who may copy it 5. If an individual assessment, develop your own work and preparation and do not allow anyone to make amends on your work (including proof-readers, who may highlight issues but not edit the work) When submitting your work, you will be required to confirm that the work is your own, and text-matching software and other methods are routinely used to check submissions against other submissions to the university and internet sources.
