Content

  • Pollution control and monitoring, fluid mechanics, hydraulics and coastal engineering, turbomachinery and hydraulic machines, dynamics and vibration, materials and stress analysis.

Learning Outcomes

Subject-specific Knowledge:
  • Students should achieve a working knowledge of the principles and applications of the technologies of the above listed courses for application in civil engineering design.
Subject-specific Skills:
  • To analyse, evaluate and interpret Engineering data.
  • To apply engineering principles to the solution of a particular problem.
Key Skills:
  • Numerical skills appropriate to an engineer.
  • General problem solving skills that can be applied in a novel context.
  • Capacity for self-learning in familar and unfamiliar situations

Modes of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these contribute to the learning outcomes of the module

  • Teaching by lectures and tutorials which are supported by a laboratory programme.
  • Written examinations are appropriate because of the wide range of in-depth, analytical material that is covered.
  • Laboratory work contributes a formative element to the module and aids the acquisition of subject-specific and key skills.
  • This module is complemented by other tied modules which provide a substantial project-based content which is evaluated through continuous assessment.
