Civil Engineers have to keep pace with global developments to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world. This course is designed to equip graduates with the knowledge, skills and professional behaviours Civil Engineers need. Students will learn to deploy digital technology to create virtual models of their engineering designs to build and shape the world around them, as well as exploring how to mitigate the impact of climate change on infrastructure and society.
Students will study engineering problem analysis, design, engineering practice, sustainability and climate emergencies, structural analysis, advanced modelling, automation and digital technologies, advanced materials, energy use of new buildings and transport, hydraulics and geotechnical engineering.
Students will work in specialist laboratories, using concrete, hydraulics, materials, soils and structures, and they'll experience real-life scenarios through site visits and field trips. Practical work includes surveying, model-making, engineering drawing and digital technology. Teaching includes lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical laboratory sessions, field courses, design classes, workshop sessions and site visits. Most graduates work in civil engineering and the construction industry or continue their studies to postgraduate level.
