This programme concentrates on a range of design methods using the principal structural materials of reinforced concrete, steel, timber and masonry. It covers both the theoretical background and the design implications of structural engineering. There is an emphasis on advanced design and you will have the opportunity to use state-of-the-art commercial design software such as GSA and AutoCAD. Particular features of the programme are modules on structural design. There is also an emphasis on coordinated teamwork. In addition to covering core topics in Civil Engineering such as Structural Design and Analysis, Fluid Mechanics, Land Surveying, Soil Mechanics, Highway Engineering, and Hydraulics, you will study various aspects of structural design in greater depth including topics such as Advanced Reinforced Concrete, Advanced Prestressed Concrete and Foundation Engineering. You will complete an individual research project as well as an industry project, a multidisciplinary group study and a group design project.
