You will be introduced to a systems approach to solving complex engineering problems to tackle the climate emergency, considering biodiversity and nature-based solutions. The module will also introduce the planning, design, construction and operational activities required for civil engineering infrastructure & associated works

This module aims to develop more in-depth and advanced understanding of the main materials that are used in civil engineering. This includes the way some materials develop and gain their properties. This module also explores the effects of using sustainable cement replacement materials and environmentally friendly recycled materials.

This module introduces you to the methods of infrastructure route planning, highway geometry, design & construction and geodetic & satellite surveying. It also helps to demonstrate how total stations and GNSS receivers can capture data for use in software packages to produce contoured plans and sections. Further, it aims to develop practical surveying skills.

This module helps to develop knowledge and understanding of the probability theory and statistics underpinning engineering, and how to apply these techniques within an engineering context. It also aims to further develop the knowledge and understanding of relevant mathematical techniques underpinning engineering, and apply these within an engineering context.

This module introduces and then consolidates your knowledge of the fundamental principles of engineering hydrology applied to civil engineering problems and provide you with an understanding of some of the key environmental and social problems with which you must deal within the context of global change and sustainable engineering. It aims to present open channel flow concepts and provide you with the ability to perform and assess a range of hydraulic computations relating to open channel flow commonly used in civil engineering.

You will be introduced to the analysis of statically indeterminate structures and the analysis of the plastic behaviour of steel structures. You will also learn to design and detail structural elements in reinforced concrete and structural steelwork using Eurocode 2 and 3. This course will introduce you to the use of software for the analysis and design of structures.
