What you will study

You will also undertake a group project linked to the Engineering for People Design Challenge. This module covers basic material science relating to construction materials such as timber, steel, concrete, masonry, polymers and bituminous materials. You will develop an understanding of commonly used construction materials, and the ability to evaluate the performance of different materials and to identify a variety of failure types. You will have the opportunity to test some of the main properties of basic construction materials through laboratory sessions. Modules include Construction Materials, Mathematics for Civil Engineering, Civil Engineering Practice, Land and Construction Surveying, Structural and Stress Analysis, Engineering Geology and Soil Mechanics, Structural Analysis, Concrete Technology and Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures, Computational Mechanics, Geotechnical Engineering 1.

Career pathways

You’ll graduate with the skills to assess environmental impacts, design environmentally responsible infrastructure, and manage water and environmental systems, opening doors to a wide range of environmentally focused careers. This degree also opens up a range of postgraduate study options.
