Year One In your first year, you will learn fundamental engineering principles. You will explore the relevance of mathematics in engineering and gain an appreciation of issues in construction management, materials and the environment. * Mathematics for Engineers * Engineering Site Practice and Surveying * Materials for Civil Engineering * Sustainable Civil Engineering Design * Professional Practice for Engineers * Civil Engineering Mechanics and Structural Design Year Two In year two, you’ll have an opportunity to apply the principles learned in year one through a series of modules covering materials and structures, hydraulics and surveying. In both your first and second years, you will attend practical field courses covering subject areas such as engineering, surveying and geology/geotechnics. * Further Mathematics for Engineers * Sustainability in Civil Engineering Design * Civil Engineering Practice * Engineering Surveying and Highway Design * Geotechnics and Engineering Geology * Hydraulics and Engineering Hydrology * Mechanics of Materials and Structures Year Three In your final year, you will focus on the analysis, design and implementation of engineering systems, and sustainability in civil engineering. You will have the opportunity to apply your skills and knowledge of geotechnical concepts to practical design and construction problems. Finally you will undertake an individual project which gives you the chance to apply your technical knowledge. * Hydraulics and Environmental Engineering * Civil Engineering Management * Structural Engineering * Geotechnics – Analysis and Design * Individual Project * Group Project – Design and Sustainability * Plus optional modules If you progress onto the MEng you will undertake an additional year of study: Year Four * Integrative Group Project – 40 credits * Advanced Civil Engineering Materials * Geo-Environmental Engineering Optional modules include: * Advanced Structural Analysis and Seismic Design * Advanced Structural Design * Integrative Project Planning and Management * Appropriate Development and Sustainable Technologies * Further Finite Element Analysis* * Non-Destructive Testing* * Safety, Health and Environmental Risk in Engineering *10 credit module The above information is a sample module description for illustrative purposes. Modules and module content may change from time to time.
