| Abstract: |
In response to the Climate Emergency, and to reflect the fact that many practising Structural Engineers work on existing buildings and other structures, staff from The University of Sheffield set up a new ‘Reuse of existing structures’ module in September 2022. The paper describes the rationale behind the module, the module content, the approach to learning, teaching and assessment., as well as reflecting on the overall success of the module, taking into account the quality of the working submitted and student feedback. |
