Description As technology, architecture and building construction advance, vertical transportation systems must keep up to ensure best performance of systems in terms of safety, sustainability, passenger comfort and accessibility. This subject addresses the complexity of integrating systems to ensure best performance in specific contexts and for multiple stakeholders. Students work on projects and use computer-aided design (CAD) to develop design solutions that maximise performance while meeting requirements. In doing so, students further develop their technical and professional communication skills. Knowledge gained in this subject will benefit students aspiring to careers such as system, electrical and mechanical design of vertical transportation.
