Handbook

BE Design Competitions is one of four streams of the Built Environment Interdisciplinary Learning (BEIL) initiative offered by the Faculty of Built Environment.

Opportunities for BE students to participate in design competitions and bids materialise throughout the year. These opportunities can translate well into interdisciplinary courses and will be offered in the BEIL competition stream when they are suitable for students from at least four different programs. Students will have completed at least 96UoC in order to be eligible to enrol. Students will work on complex 'real life' projects in interdisciplinary teams with leading design professionals, industry and community partners. These courses will enhance skills needed in professional practice, offering an opportunity for students to learn from and interact with industry and community partners, and to showcase their work via exhibitions. The project or focus at the centre of these courses will vary each time it is run and may be taught by different undergraduate programs. The course will be taught in a studio style format, encouraging collaborative group work and group learning.
