The aims of this module are for students to:

• Demonstrate an understanding of the role of research to overcome knowledge gaps.
• Synthesise information from a number of sources in order to gain a coherent understanding of a complex problem.
• Undertake the process and methodology of research by defining and studying (on an individual basis) a complex problem in a specialised area relating to their degree.
• Present rational arguments and draw independent conclusions based on a rigorous approach to collecting, analysing and interpreting data.

The aim of this module is to advance the student's understanding of concepts of analysis and design involving intermediate to advanced geotechnical and structural mechanics and the interactions between these. Students will be able to:

• Understand the principles of the stiffness matrix approach and the concept of plastic collapse to analyse framed steel structures,
  apply the Finite Element method to analyse simple structures.
• Analyse prestressed simply supported concrete beams. The students will also be able to further understand the behaviour of various geotechnical structures in relation to a soil's ultimate stress and how these interact with each other.

This will enable them to produce suitable designs, in addition to suggest and design appropriate ground improvement techniques.

The aim of this module is to create students understanding of legal and contractual aspects of the Built Environment, the strategies which can be applied by civil engineers to successfully manage construction projects, and the awareness of and the awareness of health and safety, project finance and the application of financial management in the UK construction industry.

This module will expose the students to characteristics of the construction market to build an understanding of legal framework, contractual relationships and obligations, and financial management in the Construction sector and to develop knowledge, skills and awareness of professional responsibilities for civil engineers in the wider society.

This would offer the opportunity for the students to interpret the particular needs of different client groups and stakeholders, evaluate the application of relevant contractual procedures strategies, health and safety strategies and apply financial tools and techniques to support the implementation of those strategies. This will expand students' knowledge and understanding of the construction industries in the National and Global arenas.

The aim of this module is to provide the student with an opportunity to develop and deepen their knowledge of, and connections between: management theories, practice and competencies.

The module is a unique combination of developing and deepening students understanding of their own management competencies, theoretical grasp of theory (leadership, teamwork, motivation, power and communication) and a fantastic opportunity to engage in experiential learning over three very challenging, problem solving days within an outdoor environment. Developing and then combining knowledge of management competencies, theory and practice with the opportunity to experience and self-reflect upon their connections is unique within this module.

The aim of this module is to introduce students to the wide range of considerations, strategies and techniques needed to develop and present a viable solution to a proposed construction development that impacts upon a local community with the associated conflicting engineering, sustainability, social, environmental, economic, carbon net zero, EDI and SDG requirements and to consider how to communicate it to related stakeholders impacted by the development.

The aim of this module is for a student to gain an appreciation of the wider engineering issues concerned with the planning, design, management, operation and maintenance of our transportation infrastructure.

The aim of this module is for students to acquire the knowledge and practical skills necessary to select and deploy appropriate digital technologies to support the effective and sustainable design, construction and operation of buildings and infrastructures from the lifecycle and multi-stakeholder perspectives.

The aim of this module is for the student to appreciate the significance of common ground condition problems relevant to a variety of construction activities, methods to investigate measure, map and monitor them, and practical solutions for them.

The aims of this module are for the student to understand:

• The basic principles of environmental processes and water pollution resulting from human activities.
• The range of suitable technologies for water treatment and distribution and the range of suitable technologies for collection, treatment and disposal of liquid and solid wastes.
• Understand the physical mechanisms that lead to the transport of both chemical and biological contaminants in groundwater.
  the various remote sensing technologies for monitoring and measuring surface water quality.
• Geographic Information System (GIS) applications in water resources management.
• The principles and practice of integrated water resources management.
• The impacts of climate change on water resources and the development of adaptation strategies.
• The measures being taken under the global sustainable development goals to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
