The 2017 Bachelors cohort is the world’s first student group that has finished a Bachelors degree in Computational Design from start to finish. The work of the students demonstrates that UNSW’s CoDe students can play an active role in being at the forefront of Research and Development in computation and computing for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industry.
75 % of all graduands were embedded in offices in Sydney thus we were able to bring interests from industry into academia and work on these issues through an academic lens. Each student was asked to document their findings in a 4-6000 word essay and present their findings in a 15 min conference-style presentation. Both the thesis and the presentation are available on this site. We would like to thank all our contributing industry partners for their input and hope that this page becomes a source of insides and knowledge on computational design.
