This course places emphasis on civil engineering design and practice, by developing specialised and in-demand industry skills. Students manage and design projects of all scales as individuals and as part of teams, on topics such as Fluid Mechanics, Highway Engineering, Structural Mechanics, and CAD.
In particular, the course aims to develop each student’s civil engineering knowledge, know-how skill and competence and the confidence to begin, in practice, to effectively take responsibility for the making of those judgments and decisions commensurate with the role of the civil engineering technologist, This course is designed to develop your ability to apply engineering principles and technologies to the solution of problems arising in the investigation, planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of civil engineering works.
As a student on this course, you will acquire skills in the following areas:
Civil engineering drawing and detailing (manual and computer-aided)
Materials specification and testing
Surveying and setting out; Measurement and costing of civil engineering work
Civil engineering work organisation
Document preparation and interpretation
Computer-aided analysis, design and draughting
