STUDY

This module aims to provide you with an understanding of some of the most commonly used 
techniques utilised in the construction of civil engineering projects. Although there will be a strong 
theoretical bias in the approach to this unit, there will also be considerable emphasis on the use of 
case studies as a means of understanding the application of technical solutions to civil engineering design and construction problems. A site visit will be arranged where practicable and possible to give you an opportunity to see work on site.

This module supports you with the necessary underpinning mathematical knowledge and analytical techniques, which they will require to successfully complete other modules within their course of study. It will also provide a base for the further study of mathematics needed by those engaged in the practice of Civil Engineering.

This module is intended to give you the training and skills required to competently measure land (in a variety of ways) and to record, check and use those measurements. It will also give you the training and skills to set out engineering structures. You will work both individually and as part of a small team to carry out practical activities and to produce a portfolio of results

The purpose of this module is to introduce you to the key Civil Engineering materials of concrete, steel, timber and masonry, and to enable them to understand the extraction and manufacturing process involved in producing them and how this determines their performance characteristics in use. You will also gain an understanding of the role that material selection and specification plays in sustainable development.
You will carry out practical, scientific investigations into material properties which they will analyse and evaluate as well as studying the origins and use of these materials in class. Consequently, it is intended that this module will provide the base understanding of engineering materials that will underpin the remainder of you studies in Civil Engineering. 

The module aims to introduce you to the fundamental behaviour of structures and structural elements. It will also cover the basic principles of hydraulics and simple dynamic calculations. This knowledge and understanding will prove key in the study of future modules.

A key function of the civil engineering industry is the provision of national and international infrastructure: including transportation, power supply, water supply and drainage. Civil Engineers are at the heart of the process of finding design solutions that benefit the health and well-being of the world’s population, on a daily basis. Consequently, civil engineering students need to understand the processes involved in meeting these needs in a sustainable, efficient and ethical manner, and this module seeks to help prepare you for this exacting role.

The aim of the module is to provide you with knowledge and understanding of the technology used in highway and permanent way construction / maintenance. This will build upon some of the material covered in Civil Engineering Technology. Transport engineering is a major sector within the wider civil engineering industry and most students will be involved in these projects at some point during their careers. 

This module will build on the mathematics studied in the Essential Mathematics module or A Level 
Mathematics (or equivalent) and will provide you with the necessary mathematical knowledge and analytical techniques, to solve problems in a variety of civil engineering fields of study. 

Civil Engineers need to understand how civil engineering infrastructure interacts with water. Whether that infrastructure is primarily to convey or manage the water itself, or where the water is a part of the natural environment that the infrastructure is subjected to. This is a growing sector of civil engineering, due to the increasingly heavy rainfall experienced as a result of climate change. 

This module is intended to give you an introduction to the properties and characteristics of soils used in construction and civil engineering schemes. In addition, an understanding of the classification and testing of soils will be developed. The engineering properties of soils will be determined, and analysis undertaken as to how they impact on the design of engineering structures. Geology and ground investigation processes will also be considered, as will the analysis of field data obtained from the investigation. The importance of following safe working practices is considered throughout the module. 

This module has been designed to provide you with an understanding of how to analyse simple structures under various loading conditions. The module also aims to equip you with the knowledge to produce an effective and economic design of simple structural elements in a range of structural materials to the appropriate Eurocodes.

This module you with an understanding of the concepts, principles and assessment techniques required for sustainable development and an appreciation of what is required to achieve sustainable design solutions. Sustainable development is a fundamental part of a modern engineers’ duties and responsibilities. 

As Civil engineering students you are expected to be able to solve problems and carry out investigations both on their own and in teams. In any context, Civil Engineers need to be able to define a problem, look for a solution, carry out the required research and provide a reasoned justification for your conclusions. The aim of this module is to provide further opportunities for developing these skills in the final year of your Foundation Degree studies. Additionally, you may progress onto the BSc Hons Civil Engineering (Progression) course and those on the degree apprenticeship, will find this module invaluable preparation for their continuing studies and, in particular, their final year Dissertation / Apprenticeship EPA Project.
