Aims

• Together with Engineering 3F and Engineering Project 3, this offers a level 3 Civil Engineering course for B Eng students, appropriate to their professional needs.

Content

• Stress Analysis: Stress and strain in 2D and 3D, Stress functions, Stress concentrations, Materials, Steels, Alloys, Ceramics, Polymers, Composites.
• Pollution control, Environmental soil science, Contaminated land, Waste management.
• Civil and Structural design: Loads, Steelwork, Reinforced concrete.
• Civil CAD

Learning Outcomes

• Students will gain a specialised knowledge of Stress Analysis, Materials, Pollution control and Coastal Engineering.

• Use of specialised computational packages relevant to Civil Engineers.
• Application of engineering principles to the specific topic of design and construction.
• The competent and safe use of field equipment.
• An understanding of how specialised, theoretical knowledge supports the design process.
• Specialised principles of structural steelwork and reinforced concrete design.
• An understanding of the theory and application of surveying.
• Preparation of a detailed technical report.
• Observation, recording analysis and interpretation of experimental data.

• Teamworking.
• Numerical skills appropriate to an engineer.
• General problem solving skills that can be applied in a novel context.
• Effective and relevant use of IT.
• Time and resource management.

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

• The Stress Analysis, Materials, Fluid Mechanics, Pollution control, Civil and Structural design material is covered in lectures, and is reinforced by seminars and by problem sheets, leading to the required problem solving capability.
• Written examinations are appropriate because of the wide range of in-depth, analytical material that is covered.
• A design exercise reinforces the applications of the design lectures and provides an opportunity for subject knowledge to be applied to practical engineeing designs. This is supported by a dedicated course in Civil Engineering Computer-Aided Design (CAD).
• A two-week course leads to practical skills in surveying.
• The practical CAD, design and surveying courses are continuously assessed with an emphasis on the production of written reports supported by detailed engineering drawings.
