- In year one students will learn the principles of Civil Engineering via an introduction to Materials, Structural Analysis, Construction Process and methods of Engineering Communication including use of industry-standard software platforms. The formative stages of their studies are specific to Civil Engineering and are not taught as part of a common first and second year. All areas are underpinned by developing competency in relevant mathematical techniques and approaches to problem solving.
- Once an understanding of the fundamental principles of Civil Engineering has been established, students will then progress on to more advanced areas of Structural Design, Geotechnics, Fluid Mechanics and Transportation Engineering.
- Students will implement practical solutions across a range of applied applications and develop their skills in lateral problem solving and innovative thinking.
- In their final year of study students will develop, manage and undertake a programme of independent investigation under the guidance of an associated research supervisor.
- They will also work as part of a team to fulfil a client’s project brief relating to the development of a substantial piece of Built Environment Infrastructure – the successful fulfillment of this brief will require you to utilize all of the skills developed over the course of your studies.
