Compulsory modules
Professional Skills
The aim of this module is for the student to explore and reflect on the academic, professional and personal skills required for their learning development and future employability.
Structural Forms and Stress Analysis
The aim of this module is to develop understanding of commonly used structural forms and their qualitative behaviour, complex states of stress in solids, and potential failure of brittle and ductile materials.
Mathematical Modelling of Structures
The aim of this module is to develop mathematical tools to analyse the internal actions and deformations of widely used structural elements under external static loads.
Mechanical and Mathematical Principles of Fluid Mechanics
The aims of the module is to develop an understanding of fluid mechanical principles set within the context of the global hydrological cycle coupled to salient mathematical and statistical concepts.
Engineering Materials for Construction
The aim of this module is to understand the properties of civil, architectural and construction engineering materials and how this knowledge is applied to design, construction and maintenance, together with an appreciation of sustainability and buildability.
Collaborative Practice in the Built Environment
The aim of this module is for the student to be introduced to collaborative practices and professional perspectives in solving design problems for the built environment, working in transdisciplinary teams and with emerging technologies in the construction sector, including exposure to digital methods of modelling and design.
Geomatics Engineering Surveying 1
The aim of this module is to begin to acquire the theoretical and practical skills required for a Junior Engineer involved with Land Surveying or Setting Out on a construction site.
