Aims

To provide a module at Level 3, for civil engineering M.Eng. students, containing a balanced group of subjects in Pollution control, Fluid Mechanics, Turbomachinery, Dynamics and Vibration, Materials and Stress Analysis.

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.
