STUDY

This module will build on your previous study of structural behaviour at Level-5 and will extend their knowledge and understanding of the analysis of engineering problems and the design of suitable solutions. This module will aim to teach you to produce design solutions which exhibit both engineering efficiency and the sustainable use of materials.

This module will equip you with the necessary knowledge and understanding to design and specify the use of metals, concrete, timber and bituminous materials in civil engineering applications, together with the ability to carry out systematic investigations into a range of other materials as may be used in their professional practice. This module will aim to enable you to select and specify appropriate materials, in order to achieve both engineering efficiency and the sustainable use of resources. 

The majority of the forces that engineering structures are designed to carry, eventually have to be transferred to the ground. Other structures are designed to interact with or support the ground. Consequently, a good knowledge of the characteristics and behaviour of soils is essential. Not fully investigating or understanding ground conditions is a key reason why projects experience delays and cost uncertainty.

This module will give you a broad understanding of the theory and practice of contract law and procurement in the context of the English legal system. It will develop an understanding of the 
standard forms of civil engineering contracts and subcontracts used in the industry, and the procedures associated with these commonly used forms of contract, including the procurement of these contracts.
It will also promote investigation into the methods of dispute resolution, insurance, indemnity that 
are commonly used in the industry; and an understanding of the statutory framework in which the 
industry operates. 

The dissertation requires you to carry out a valid, independent research project which will develop your key skills in data gathering, analysis, evaluation and communication within the field of civil engineering. The module develops and applies the principles of research developed in the level 5 module ‘Engineering Research and Practice’ and enhances the students' critical and interpretive capabilities.
