Civil Engineering

Year 1

Mathematics 1

Develops basic mathematical and statistical methods for students with an interest in constructionand civil engineering.

Mathematics 2

Builds upon the mathematical concepts introduced in Mathematics (1) and moves on to cover more complex concepts related to Civil Engineering.

Construction materials

Explores the principles and properties of a range of construction materials.

Introduction to computer-aided design (CAD) and information communication technology

A practical introduction to CAD using industry standard software for producing 2D detail and assembly drawings.

Health, safety and the law

An introduction to the English legal system in relation to the legal responsibilities in areas such as employment, the environment, planning and building control. In particular, the module will study health, safety and welfare legislation in the construction sector.

Civil engineering

Provides and understanding of the processes used ina range of civil engineering activities.

Year 2

Site surveying

A basic introduction to surveying techniques and the methods used to set out and control construction works.

Structural analysis and design 1

Introduces basic structural concepts and develop the ability to analyse structures and design simple structural elements in accordance with relevant British and European Codes of Practice.

Research project

Develops research skills into the design, construction and analysis of construction activities with a presentation in a written and oral form.

Civil engineering management and applications

Investigates the processes of management, the methods of procuring civil engineering works and the management processes used in the

construction industry.

Year 3

Fluid technology

An introduction to the basic principles of hydraulics and the common civil engineering applications of fluid flow in pipes.

Civil engineering surveying procedures

This module builds upon the basic surveying processes to develop the skills needed by a civil engineer to manage and control complex earthmoving projects.

Structural analysis and design for construction

Introduces basic structural concepts and develop the ability to analyse structures and design structural elements in accordance with relevant British and European Codes of Practice

Geotechnics

Examines a range of sub surface materials, their formation, description, basic properties and provides the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of the applications of geotechnics to design and construction. The emphasis of the course is on the geotechnical design.

Mathematics 3

This module develops the mathematical concepts introduced in year 1 and moves on to cover more complex concepts more related to civil

engineering.

Structural Analysis & Design 2

Statically indeterminate structures and the application of different methods of analysis. Design of more complex structures. Production of competent and economic designs in accordance with current Codes of Practice and BuildingRegulations.
